After the war O.K. Antonov started design studies for a new aircraft that should have a roomy cabin to house all sorts of payload, but mainly pesticide tanks, freight, passengers and cattle; a short take off attitude; steerable at very low speeds; very robust and fly well under different circumstances. It was finished in the same year the studies started and turned out to be the most reliable workhorse behind the Iron Curtain for many decades. Initially regarded in the West as an obsolete anachronism, this modern biplane appeared in many configurations in large quantities (over 18.500 built) in all the East Block countries. The successful transport aircraft still flies and is popular with parachutists in East and West nowadays. The model is available in all possible configurations, military and civil.
The model
This museum quality (highest level of fidelity to the original) aircraft display model is produced in perspex (pmma, also known as plexiglass).
Each model of plane whose construction is performed one by one for each single customer order, is carved in the workshop on the basis of plans of the original plane, starting from a block of perspex. After this long stage of precise handcrafting of volume, the future model of plane is polished and airbrushed to a very fine degree with an excellent level of realism, based on photographs or descriptive documents of the original planes. Windows are kept clear. The result is an exceptional aircraft model.
