Trumpeter 01607 - Antonov An-2 Ski-Equipped 1:72 Aircraft Kit  [TP01607]

1:72 Antonov An-2 Ski Conversion Kit from Trumpeter

This 1:72 injection-moulded plastic model depicts the Antonov An-2 fitted with skis and is supplied as a hobby-grade kit intended for model assembly and display.

The An-2, a single-engine biplane introduced in the late 1940s, was built for robust utility duties and could be adapted with skis or floats for operations in snow or water. Its straightforward construction supported use from short or rough strips, and it found roles in agriculture, liaison, and transport across the Soviet sphere and elsewhere during the mid-20th century.

The ski-equipped subject captures winter operational detail where wheeled landing gear is unsuitable. Builders should prepare for tasks such as aligning struts and skis, seam filling, and interplane rigging. Using photographic references for ski fittings and winter camouflage will help produce an accurate display model.

A compact 1:72 representation of a ski-fitted utility biplane, ideal for dioramas and display pieces focusing on cold-climate operations.
