Pin Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 The first soviet all metal passenger plane More about the prototype: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tupolev_ANT-2 1/72 resin kit from AirKits The kit is supplied with nicely moulded engine from Prop&Jet Let's get started. Assembled the cabin and deepened the door on the port board. Also deepened one of the two semicircle pilot access steps, need to find a better way 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyTiger66 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 A very nice choice Alexey. Whenever I see the Ant-2, and also a (loosely) similar looking Polish aircraft, the RWD-2, I can't help thinking of aircraft in Fritz Lang's film; Metropolis. Beautiful shapes. Looking forward to this Best regards TonyT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Well that's certainly a bit different.....Looks a nice little kit too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pin Posted October 5, 2016 Author Share Posted October 5, 2016 More about the kit: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234998865-172-tupolev-ant-2-resin-kit-by-airkits-in-design/ I decided to build Monino machine as it is slightly more colourful than plain "kolchugaluminium" NMF: http://igor113.livejournal.com/76922.html#/76922.html Kolchugaluminium is early Soviet attempt to recreate duraluminium, the formula was different that gave the alloy characteristic yellowish tint As seen on the photos the cabin inside is not corrugated but covered with leather sheets so I need to redo cabin interior. This aircraft does not have pilot step holes either, so I need to fill in what I picked and restore corrugation. Not an easy task 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pin Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 The photo shows that the cabin was covered with mats, the pilot sit was merely a bench 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyTiger66 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Coming along very nicely Alexey. The interior cabin colour is a very good match and the cockpit is nicely detailed. I have to say at least it was 'equal opportunities' seating; it looks like pilot and passengers would have a equal chance of a bruised bottom in turbulence ! The aircraft reminds me of a Dornier too. Wonderful wing shape. Could you advise on a reliable supplier of these airkits? They make some fascinating subjects. Best regards TonyT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinky coffeeboat Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Nice, ugly, strange and everything in between. But I like it and you've made a great model. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffB Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 What a great addition to the GB Alexey I've got a Focke-Wulf A16 in my stash, which looks very similar. It was presumably the way to go with airliner design back then.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
