1/144 AN-26 RT/RR/Z (USSR/Ukraine/Czechoslovakia A.F.)

Description

This is an injection-plastic aircraft model kit.

The AN-26 is a small twin-engine multi-purpose transport aircraft developed at the Kiev Mechanical Manufacturing Plant (KMZ: now ANTK Antonov in Ukraine) in the Soviet Union and the Republic of Ukraine. It first flew in 1969, and was codenamed “Curl” by NATO. This aircraft was designed as an advanced version of the AN-24T cargo aircraft, and in order to store large cargo directly from the tail, a large ramp was installed to keep the hatch airtight. This ramp made it possible to load cargo with the entire body of a truck, and also made it easier to drop supplies by air. The AN-25, of which 1,398 aircraft, including derivatives, were manufactured by 1986, is widely used not only as a military aircraft but also by civilian users, and is still in operation in Eastern Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Central and South America, and more.

This model kit from Sova-M includes newly molded antenna parts. Three types of decals are included (Soviet Air Force AN-26RT radio relay aircraft, Ukrainian Air Force AN-26RR radio reconnaissance aircraft, Czechoslovak Air Force AN-26Z radio reconnaissance aircraft). Order yours today!
