Po-2

Modeling Subjects Aircraft

Hi people.
I am currently building a GAVIA Po-2 kit in 1/48 scale.
It is a perfect kit with only problem some panel lines in wrong positions on the nose.
I am searching for information (photos, sites of interest, book titles etc.). My intention is to built a Po-2 on skis and one on wheels.
Thank you all,

I´m not familiar with that particular aircraft but if it hasn´t got a plexiglass nose (like a B-17) you could fill the lines with a filler and make new ones.

ModelDIO,

the guys have been very helpful so far regarding other issues regarding this kit.
I too am working on this kit, and I’m fortunate enough to have acess to an actual PO2 in a local museum. I currently have several photos of the PO2 in their collection and will be returning to the museum to take more. I can e-mail you some if you like, let me know.

You can also look for pictures of CSS-13 (it’s the Polish version of PO-2) - one or two are still flying in Poland ! Aleksander

Hi there

Here in Hungary we have an airworthy po-2. It’s kept in a hangar in Budapest and was overhauled this year.
