It was widely used by the Soviet Red Army during the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939), and also took part in operations in the Far East and at the beginning of World War II, mainly in reconnaissance and light bombing missions. It remained in service until 1942, when it was replaced by more modern designs. The Polikarpov R-Z gained recognition for its robustness, ease of use, and reliability under harsh frontline conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eWhy choose this model?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eThe model offers a very high level of detail and a realistic rendition of the structure, including historic Red Army liveries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eThe set includes a detailed cockpit and realistically reproduced control surfaces, allowing for precise presentation both in a diorama and as a standalone display model.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eThis is a unique choice for collectors of Soviet aircraft as well as a great addition to a collection of interwar and early WWII aircraft.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThis kit is recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers who enjoy precision work and wish to expand their workshop with rarer types of historical aircraft.
