Trumpeter 01607 Antonov An-2 Colt on Skis (1/72) – 1:72 scale plastic model aircraft

The Trumpeter 01607 Antonov An-2 Colt on Skis (1:72) plastic model aircraft is a precisely rendered assembly kit depicting one of the most recognizable transport aircraft of the 20th century—the Soviet Antonov An-2, here with ski landing gear modification. This kit is intended for modelers who appreciate realistic detail and the convenience of the highly popular display-friendly 1:72 scale.

The Antonov An-2 was designed in the USSR, with its first flight in 1947. It began service after World War II (during the Cold War era) and saw widespread use in Warsaw Pact countries, including Poland, where it received a transport designation and served both military and civilian roles—in medical evacuation, firefighting, or agricultural aviation. The An-2 with skis was especially valued in countries with harsh winters, such as Russia and Poland, where a standard wheeled undercarriage was ineffective on snow-covered runways.

Kit contents:

• Precisely molded components made of high-quality plastic
• Decals with Polish markings, allowing you to build a model in the Polish Air Force variant
• Faithfully reproduced ski undercarriage, created according to technical documentation
• Detailed surface texture, cockpit, and radial engine
• Assembly instructions with clear diagrams
