Preowned, Resealed, Mint inside, Box worn

The Lockheed U-2 "Dragon Lady" was an American single-engine, high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft developed by Lockheed's Skunk Works, first flown in 1955 and operating above 70,000 feet to conduct strategic overflights for the USAF and CIA throughout the Cold War. It became world-famous in 1960 when Francis Gary Powers' U-2 was shot down over the Soviet Union. This is MPC's 1984 boxing of the Airfix tooling, with additional parts (enlarged intakes and a revised spine) that allow the early U-2A/C variants to be built.
