Kalinin K-5 1\72 Amodel

[Max Komendantov 718]

The K-5 aircraft were the basis of the USSR's civilian passenger fleet in the 1930s. Sometimes they were used as agitation, sanitary, transport or even military transport. This USSR L-607 was mobilized in 1939. This machine was used during the Soviet-Finnish conflict to transport ammunition and evacuate the wounded. During the service in the VVS RKKA over the civilian registration numbers were painted red stars.

Very nice model...looks realistic!

Another great build, Max. :).

 

model producers like A Model have to be applauded for producing such kits. While the subjects a not of my interest, they are certainly appealing and balance the western domination of types popularly built.

Since the image of the aircraft engine (M-17) and a certain color scheme, it is a variant of 1939-1941.

Well done, Max. Kalinin airplanes had nice wing planforms.

Thank you.

BTW - how extensive was your conversion? I guess that you've made engine but also sides of fuselage. is it?

cheers
