SB 2M-100A WWII Soviet Bomber 1/72 ICM Models

The SB (Skorostnoy Bombardirovschik – high speed bomber) was one of the world’s first twin engine bombers with smooth metal plating and a retractable chassis. SB (ANT-40) was constructed at the Tupolev design bureau and made its maiden flight in October 1934. Since 1937 it was produced with M-100A engines and three-blade propellers. They became the basis of Soviet bomber aviation. SB took part in many armed conflicts in the late 1930s, including the Soviet-Japan conflict on the Khalhin-Gol River, the Soviet-Finnish Winter War, and the initial stages of the Soviet-German War.
