A-Model 72110 Yermolaev (Yer) Er-2ON 1/72 – plastic model kit

The A-Model 72110 Yermolaev (Yer) Er-2ON in 1/72 scale is a precisely crafted plastic model kit representing one of the most unusual Soviet aircraft from World War II. The model is designed by the renowned manufacturer A-Model and is dedicated to both advanced and intermediate aircraft modelers who value faithful reproduction of historic machines' details.

The Yermolaev (Yer) Er-2ON aircraft is a rare variant of the Yermolaev Er-2 bomber, adapted for transporting VIPs as well as for long-distance transport and communication flights in the USSR air forces. The designation "ON" comes from the words "Osobogo Naznaczenia," meaning "special purpose." This type of aircraft was based on the classic Er-2 bomber, which entered service with the air force of the Soviet Union in the early 1940s, during World War II. The Er-2 and its variants were mainly used for strategic bombing and long-range reconnaissance missions, but the ON version was intended for VIP transportation—specifically for carrying government delegations, high-ranking commanders, and diplomatic staff. Example missions included communications tasks in which the Er-2ON was used to transport special delegations between Moscow and the front or other key strategic points within the USSR.

The presented A-Model 72110 is made of high-quality plastic, allowing for easy sanding, precise cutting, and ensuring a perfect fit of elements during assembly. The kit does not include extras such as metal barrels, photo-etched parts, or resin components, but instead focuses on a standard faithful to the historical documentation of the original.

• Scale: 1/72 – ideal for collectors of Soviet World War II aircraft models.
• Country: Soviet Union (USSR).
• Material: high-quality plastic, resistant to modelers' glues and paints.
• Category: plastic model kit.
• Historical period: World War II.

I recommend this model to all enthusiasts of Soviet aviation and to those looking for unique machines for their 1/72 scale model collection. It is perfect for intermediate and advanced modelers. The build difficulty I estimate at 3/5, due to the multi-part fuselage construction and interesting details that require careful assembly. It is a real treat for aviation history buffs and collectors of unique Soviet aircraft models from the 1940s.
