Audra Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 (edited) The second aircraft of the Lithuanian aircraft designer Antanas Gustaitis - ANBO-II ANBO-II - light multipurpose aircraft. It was operated from 1927 to 1931 as a training aircraft for young military pilots. In 1931, after major repairs and changes, it was transferred to the Aero Club. The plane crashed and was written off in 1934. The first model is finished in the style of operation during 1925-1931 A full size flying replica was restored in 2012-2016 and mostly used for air shows. Unfortunately the plane crashed in 2021. The pilot (one of the constructors) died. Thanks. The second model is finished in the style of operation in Lithuanian Aero Club during 1931-1934 Thanks.

Farmerboy Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 What a sweet little aeroplane, well built and finished, good job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Small scale, Scratch built, and a tiny aircraft. You didn't make it easy for yourself. The result is beautiful. I admire the cowling with the 'engine-turned' finish, was that done with decals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Great work on this lovely model with a cracking paint finish too. What a shame about the replica crashing. Initially when I saw the photo of the replica in flight, I thought it was your model briefly!!! Great work Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 An exceedingly convincing little replica of an aeronautical machine that I'm ashamed to admit I've never heard of. So, an educational hit as well as a beautiful build! Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulcanicity Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Beautiful! And I have discovered a type I have never heard of before which is always a pleasure. Like Bertie I am curious how you got the metal textured effect... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
