The Arkhangelsky Ar-2 was a Soviet medium dive bomber, an improved development of the SB-2 design, created by Alexander Arkhangelsky's team. The Ar-2 entered service with the USSR Air Force between 1940 and 1942, taking part in front-line actions during the early phase of World War II (the Great Patriotic War). The aircraft was mainly used for ground target bombings and direct support of land forces. Although its production was limited, the Ar-2 represents an important stage in the development of Soviet bomber aviation during World War II.

The A-Model 72120 set is intended for intermediate modelers – difficulty level 3/5. The number of small parts and careful placement of decals require some experience in working with plastic model kits. The model includes clear assembly instructions, and proper painting will bring out the historical character of this replica.

We recommend this kit to those interested in reconstructing Soviet aviation of World War II and to collectors looking for less common aircraft for their collection. An excellent choice for hobbyists who wish to explore lesser-known chapters of aviation history.
