Metal Earth U-2 Dragon Lady Model Kit

This Metal Earth kit builds a 44-part steel replica of the Lockheed Martin U-2 Dragon Lady in United States Air Force markings. The officially licensed model features true-to-scale detail and a highly detailed exterior. No glue or paint is required for assembly, though tweezers are recommended. It arrives in a brand new, unopened box with a display stand included.

Moderate difficulty steel model for adult collectors

The kit suits hobbyists who enjoy assembling intricate metal models and display collectors interested in Cold War aviation history. It is an officially licensed product designed for adult builders. Builders who want opening panels, motorised features or snap-together plastic construction should look at something else.

44 parts with no openings and moderate difficulty

The model contains exactly 44 stainless steel parts that assemble without adhesive into a sealed airframe. Assembled dimensions are approximately 4.7 inches long, 7.9 inches wide and 2.4 inches high. The moderate difficulty rating reflects the part count and the precision needed for the thin wing structure.
