The A-Model 72109 Ermolayev Er-2 plastic model kit in the popular 1/72 scale is an offering from A-Model aimed at demanding modelers interested in World War II themes. The kit faithfully recreates the historic Soviet long-range bomber Ermolayev Er-2 (military designation DB-240), which was one of the most important elements of Soviet bomber aviation on the Eastern Front.

Historical overview and use of the Er-2

The Ermolayev Er-2 aircraft entered production during World War II and was used by the USSR between 1941 and 1945. Its design, developed by Vladimir Yermolayev, allowed it to conduct long-range bombing and reconnaissance missions. The Er-2 bomber was often used for strategic raids against the German rear as well as for supporting Red Army military operations. Its presence on the Eastern Front played a key role in operations such as the Battle of Kursk and the Siege of Leningrad. The aircraft was valued for its long range and relatively modern technical solutions for its time.
