Build a highly detailed scale replica of the Curtiss O-52 Owl, an American observation and reconnaissance aircraft supplied to the Soviet Union under the Lend-Lease programme during World War II.

Published by Orel (Орел) as kit No. 279, this 1:33 scale card model kit depicts the Curtiss O-52 in Soviet service in 1942. The O-52 was designed and manufactured by Curtiss-Wright as an observation aircraft, intended primarily for reconnaissance, artillery spotting and photographic missions.

Approximately 200 O-52 aircraft were produced. A small number were allocated to the Soviet Union through the Lend-Lease programme, with 26 aircraft shipped and 19 reported to have reached the USSR.

The Orel model offers a high level of detail, including a fully reproduced cockpit interior and double-sided printing, which improves the appearance of visible internal surfaces and exposed parts. Supplied across 16 A4 sheets, the kit provides an engaging and rewarding project for experienced card aircraft modellers and collectors of WWII aviation.
