BritJet Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Hi Had this in the stash for years and decided to build it alongside the Amodel An-71. Only problem areas were the engine panels not fitting and the kits decals representing an early short fuselage An-72. Home made decals for the registration numbers and Russian flag and large bulged window added to the left hand side. Not sure who the real aircraft is operated by as no titles are carried.

Flankerman Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Nice model of a difficult kit - especially those engine nacelles. An internet search on 'RA-74003' reveals it was operated by 'Yakutia' at one time........ http://russianplanes.net/REGINFO/3195 http://www.aerotransport.org/php/go.php Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen a decent photo anywhere of the logo on the tail? The photos I found it didn't have that. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swamp Donkey Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Will check my photos when I get back from Canada on Thursday - was in Yakutsk last year - don't recall any of these, but that may be down to the vodka! SD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike N Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Nice one Steve, frequently been tempted to do one of these. It looks great Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeW Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Great finish - Looks like the aircraft "Ozone" danced on and in for that musical hit "Numa Numa" in 2005? Engine nacelles are unique to this one. Cheers, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Fantastic! Something totally different and I have no idea who "Ozone" are nor do I have any knowledge of "Numa Numa" but if they like Antonov An-74s, then they are ok with me! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritJet Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) Nice one Steve, frequently been tempted to do one of these. It looks great Mike Hi Mike. Thanks for that, it is a very nice kit. Just do it with the engine covers open...... What you working on at the moment? Unusual looking (typically Russian though!) Fantastic :-) Very unusual, but I think inspired by the YC-14 Great finish - Looks like the aircraft "Ozone" danced on and in for that musical hit "Numa Numa" in 2005? Engine nacelles are unique to this one. Cheers, Mike Thanks. I just had to google that and didn't find anything like an An-74...... Fantastic! Something totally different and I have no idea who "Ozone" are nor do I have any knowledge of "Numa Numa" but if they like Antonov An-74s, then they are ok with me! Really enjoyed building it and certainly does look different, just the engines that take the edge of it for me. I dig it, thanks for sharing. Rod Cheers.

Mark Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Thanks. I just had to google that and didn't find anything like an An-74...... Have a look at this month's Airfix Modelling World and you can see the American copy, or was it the other way round?? This isn't the one in the magazine, but you'll see what I mean...

Mike N Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Hi Steve, I've recently started on both the Avro 707B and a Revell Hunter being converted to the P1109A, both being blue they might save some airbrush time! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
