Historical information about the Su-2

The Su-2 was a Soviet light bomber and ground-attack aircraft designed in the late 1930s by the Sukhoi Design Bureau. Used mainly in the early phase of World War II (1939–1943), it took part in battles on the Eastern Front, including the Battle of Moscow and Stalingrad. Although it was gradually phased out by more modern machines, the Su-2 was the first combat aircraft designed by Pavel Sukhoi and made a significant contribution to Red Army operations.

Features of the Quinta Studio QC48017 canopy

The offered canopy is a vacuformed product, meaning it is formed from a thin polystyrene sheet under pressure and high temperature. This ensures excellent clarity and thin edges, allowing for realistic representation of model details. It is a preferred solution among advanced modellers seeking an uncompromising appearance for their finished models. The canopy allows for an unobstructed view of the cockpit interior, avoiding distortions typical of thicker plastic parts.

Recommendation and difficulty level

The product is especially recommended for intermediate and advanced modellers who want to enhance the detail of World War II aircraft models. It requires caution during cutting and fitting to the fuselage – minimum difficulty level 3/5. It works excellently for upgrading a Zvezda kit, guaranteeing a professional final effect and satisfaction from working on a historical model.
