About product

An-2 1:72, a photo-etched detail set

This product is not a kit but a photo-etched detail set in 1:72 scale from the Czech maker Eduard. It contains fine etched parts that refine and bring a plastic An-2 model to life, adding and replacing details that injection-molded plastic cannot capture faithfully.

The real subject

The An-2 is a single-engine Soviet biplane from the Antonov design bureau, one of the largest series-built single-engine biplanes ever. Powered by a radial engine, it served from the late 1940s as a multipurpose machine: an agricultural aircraft, a light transport, a paratroop and a liaison type. Thanks to its short takeoff and landing and its exceptional reliability it still flies today; a large part of the production was built in Poland. Its NATO reporting name is Colt.

Building and painting tips

The etched parts are intended for advanced modelers. The individual parts are separated from the fret with a sharp knife, bent on a photo-etch bender or over a sharp edge and joined with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue); larger areas can also be soldered. Degrease the parts before gluing so that they hold well. The assembly is evened out by spraying a primer, followed by airbrushing and gentle highlighting with a wash. The set is an accessory for a plastic An-2 kit in 1:72 scale, which has to be obtained separately.

Who the set is for

  • For advanced modelers who want to get the maximum detail out of a kit.
  • For builders of the An-2 in 1:72 scale.
  • For lovers of rugged multipurpose biplanes and of aviation history.
  • For modelers who are confident with etch, bending and cyanoacrylate glue.

FAQ

It is not. It is a photo-etched detail set. The plastic An-2 kit in 1:72 scale has to be bought separately.

They are fine etched metal parts. They are bent over a sharp edge or on a photo-etch bender and glued with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue).

For advanced modelers who can handle working with etch. Beginners will find separating and bending the small parts hard going.
