Model Aircraft Kit

The AFV Club AR48114 1/48 U-2C Dragon Lady Early/Late High-Altitude Recon Model Aircraft Kit brings one of aviation historys most iconic reconnaissance aircraft to life with a detailed representation of the legendary Lockheed U-2C. Known as the Dragon Lady, the U-2 became a symbol of Cold War intelligence gathering, operating at extreme altitudes where few aircraft could reach and playing a critical role in global surveillance missions.

The Lockheed U-2 first entered service in the mid-1950s and became one of the most important intelligence-gathering platforms of the Cold War. Its ability to fly above 70,000 feet allowed it to collect vital photographic and electronic intelligence during some of the most tense periods of modern history, including the Cuban Missile Crisis era. The aircrafts continued service into the modern age is a testament to its exceptional design and adaptability.
