Brief Historical Overview

The Antonov OKA-38 “Aist” was a Soviet light dive bomber designed in the late 1930s by Oleg Antonov. It was intended to meet the need of the USSR for a modern ground-attack aircraft capable of operating from short runways and supporting ground troops. The prototype was first flown in 1940, but due to a series of design problems and wartime turmoil, the project never entered mass production. Ultimately, the OKA-38 remained merely a curiosity for lovers of Soviet engineering from the World War II era.

The A-Model Antonov OKA-38 Aist model is a unique offering for collectors and those specializing in lesser-known Eastern Front aircraft designs.

The 1/72 scale allows the model to be displayed both as a single gem and in historical dioramas.

This product is especially recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers, due to the relatively small number of parts, but it requires precision when assembling and painting cockpit and landing gear components.
