Recommended Posts

In Archangelsky PS-35 (ANT-35) that first flew in September 1936 was a Soviet attempt of creating modern high speed airliner. Designed and built in Tupolev bureau it was, however, inferiour to Douglas DC-3 for which Soviet Union bought a license, therefore only a dozen was built.

Production planes were used on Aeroflot international flights to Stockholm and Prague

Lost an engine, casted a copy, found an engine. Now I have three "Rhones" and a form to make more :)

The colour of the cabin is not known. This means gray!

Cabin. Not worth much effort - very little will be seen. Masked windows with sticky tape from inside. Once the paintwork is done it will be not too hard to remove masks from outside and fill windows with Micro Kristal Kleer

Closed the body. Fit is fine although not ideal

Cockpit transparencies are vacformed. Tried on, fits well

Cut headlights and painted the reflectors. Will fill with transparent epoxy once paint dries
