Antonov An-2 Ski Variant 1:72 Model Kit - Trumpeter 01607  [TP01607]

Antonov An-2 'Colt' Ski Version in 1:72 by Trumpeter

This injection-moulded 1:72 plastic kit shows the Antonov An-2 fitted with skis and is intended as a hobby-grade assembly model aimed at display builders.

Introduced in the late 1940s, the An-2 is a single-engine biplane designed for rugged utility roles. Its uncomplicated structure allowed use from short or rough strips, and the design was adapted to operate with floats and skis for waterborne or snowbound operations. The type saw extensive use in agricultural, liaison and transport duties across the Soviet Union and allied regions in the mid-20th century.

The ski-equipped subject represents winter operations where wheels are impractical. Builders should prepare for typical biplane tasks such as accurate strut alignment, fitting skis, and applying rigging. Reference photos showing ski geometry and period paintwork will aid in creating a convincing model.

A compact, display-oriented 1:72 kit that captures the ski-equipped utility biplane, suitable for enthusiasts focused on cold-weather variants and operational detail.
