The A-Model 72329 Beriev Be-10 is an advanced plastic model kit replicating, in 1:72 scale, the Soviet jet-powered flying boat. This unique set is the perfect choice for aviation modeling enthusiasts and fans of Soviet Cold War-era technology.

Beriev Be-10 (NATO reporting name: "Mallow") was a twin-engine jet-powered flying boat designed in the USSR. It was developed as a reconnaissance and patrol aircraft, capable of combat operations over sea and land. Its maiden flight was in 1956, and it served in units from the late 1950s to the early 1960s. The Beriev Be-10 was one of the few jet-powered flying boats in the world, used primarily by the Soviet Naval Aviation in the Far East and the Black Sea. It participated in border patrols, reconnaissance missions, and military exercises during the Cold War.
