An-2 Hobby Boss 1/48


Recommended Posts

Very nice model. As an aside, the An-2 is the only aircraft, apart from a Harrier, that I have seen fly backwards. It was throttled right back against a headwind, and moving backwards across the ground - weird to watch.

I've read that the An-2 flight manual does not include a minimum or stall speed. Remarkable aircraft. Still.

Impressive An-2! The subtle variations of the yellow-orange paintwork is most convincing.

 

We had one in my home town of Nyköping, Sweden, that was used by the local parachute club. Its deep engine growl was readily identifiable… 😉

 

Superb modelling!

 

Kind regards,

Very nice. I remember seeing loads of these at the small airfield to the North East of Belgrade. Your build captures everything I remember about this rugged machine. :)
