HISTORY:
The Shcherbakov Shche-2 (Russian: Ще-2), also known as the TS-1 and nicknamed "Pike", was a twin-engine utility aircraft manufactured in the Soviet Union, designed by Alexei Shcherbakov for construction by OKB-47, to meet an urgent requirement for a light transport and liaison aircraft for operation by the Soviet Air Force during the Second World War.
Proving to be successful, it remained in service for a number of years post-war in both civilian and military roles in the Soviet Union, and with the air forces of several allied nations. 550 built, in use until 1956 (USSR) and 1960 (foreign users).
SPECIFICATIONS:
Role: Light transport
Manufacturer: OKB-47

First flight: 1942
Primary users: Soviet Air Force, Polish Air Force, Yugoslav Air Force, Aeroflot

THE DECAL:
This small decal sheet comes in a zip-locked clear cello envelope.
It is intended for inclusion in Croco’s 1/72nd scale model kit of the Sche-2. It carries the Polish Airforce checkerboard insignias in 3 different sizes, a pair of yellow no. 2’s, pairs of white no. 3’s and 5’s.
The checkerboards can be used on other aircraft kits that modelers would like to mark for the Polish Air Force.
