OtVinta! 1/48 Shavrov Sh-2 (Ш-2) – new model!
Hello everyone! I would like to present a new model - the first Soviet serial flying boat designed by Shavrov Sh-2. The model is made of polyurethane resin, 115 parts (approx.), Decal for 8 options. The set includes bonuses - a pilot figurine (resin) and spoked wheels (3D print).
The model is already on sale. The cost of the model is 75 euros. Postal delivery - 20 euros.
An airplane I never knew existed. Nice resin casting work there.
What a great subject!
Unknown plane to me as well.
It looks even pretty fast.
So pretty, so sporty! Just look at those spoked wheels!
I was surprised to learn that the plane is little known)).
This is the first Soviet serial amphibious aircraft. It has been in operation for over 30 years.
Participated in the rescue of the crew from the steamer Chelyuskin, 1934.
He fought in World War II.
After the war, it was used for a long time in civil aviation.
