APC Decals 1/72 Po-2 ČNA
By Matt Bittner
Overview
While there have been a few 1/72 Po-2 kits out in the past, the best-in-scale was the recently released, completely re-tooled kit put out by ICM. Definitely one worth tracking down.
The Decals
For this release, APC Decals provides markings for only one Po-2. It was an ex-Soviet machine, refinished in Czech civilian and national markings. The majority of the machine was left in the Soviet finish of AMT-1 "light brown", AMT-4 "bright green" and AMT-12 "black" on the upper sides, with AMT-7 "underside blue" on the bottoms; however, the Czechs overpainted the rear fuselage using their "khaki" and also overpainted the Soviet stars on the wings' underside with their "blue", close to RLM 65.

The decals are really well printed and appear to be in register. If you want to finish your Polikarpov Po-2 in Czech markings, then this is definitely the sheet you want to pick up.
Huge thanks to APC Decals for the review set.
