About product

Antonov An-2 engine 1:48 (Quickboost)

An accurately cast resin radial engine for the Soviet Antonov An-2 utility biplane in 1:48 scale. It is an aftermarket detail part that will replace the simplified plastic engine from the base kit and raise the fidelity of the front end of the aircraft, not a standalone aircraft model.

The real subject

The Antonov An-2 is a single-engine utility biplane powered by a nine-cylinder Shvetsov ASh-62 radial of around 1000 horsepower. It is precisely the massive radial unit that gives the aircraft its characteristic look and allows it short take-off and landing. The aircraft has served from the late 1940s to the present day.

Tips for use and fitting

Resin parts call for more careful work than plastic: first wash them to remove the mold release agent, separate them carefully from the casting block and glue them with cyanoacrylate glue. Protect your airways while sanding and cutting small parts. Apply a primer before painting. Once painted, bring the engine to life with a dry brush and a gentle wash, so that the cylinder fins and the plumbing stand out, and only then cover it with the cowling.

Who the part is for

  • Modelers building the Antonov An-2 in 1:48 scale
  • Those interested in a more faithful radial engine than the kit offers
  • Builders who want to show the engine area uncovered
  • Collectors of Soviet and Eastern European aircraft

The part is supplied as a resin accessory, unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and the base kit are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No. It is a resin detail part, that is, an aftermarket accessory. The base kit has to be obtained separately.

The part is shaped for the Soviet Antonov An-2 utility biplane in 1:48 scale. It is advisable to check the exact fit in a particular kit dry, because what the manufacturers offer differs.

Wash it to remove the mold release agent, separate it from the casting block and glue it with cyanoacrylate glue. Protect your airways while sanding. The work is somewhat more demanding than with plastic.
