1/48 U-2R Dragon Lady Senior Span
HobbyBoss 1/48 U-2R Dragon Lady Senior Span is a plastic kit of the American high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft. It contains over 130 parts and photo-etch. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
The Lockheed U-2R is an enlarged and extensively redesigned version of the famous U-2 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, nicknamed the Dragon Lady. It gained a longer fuselage, a greater wingspan and roomier equipment bays, and could carry underwing sensor pods. The Senior Span version is recognisable by the large aerodynamic fairing on the fuselage spine housing a satellite data link antenna, allowing intelligence to be relayed far beyond the horizon.
According to the manufacturer, the HobbyBoss kit consists of more than 130 parts and features a detailed fuselage and wings. A photo-etched fret and a decal sheet complete the package. The long, slender wing gives the model impressive dimensions even in 1/48 scale.
According to the box, the finished model is over 40 cm long, so plan for generous display space. The predominantly black finish with low-visibility markings is an interesting challenge for subtle panel shading. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
