1/144 Antonov AN-2 "Colt" by A-Model
=============================
A new kit by A-Model and I can garentee you havent seen that many of these around in 144.
The Antonov AN-2 "Colt" is probably the most sucessful aircraft most people have never heard of?
It is the 'Volkwagen' of the skies with 18-20,000+ built since 1947 (only the C-130 has been built for longer, but in far less numbers @ less than 3,000) .
Pre-production sprues can be seen here, along with addtional images,

A rough translation indicated that there will be muliple issues/version of this kit (tbc?)
(Water or Ski version?, plus colour/decal options, as per A-Model usual operations)
It comes with a range of decals, of which some are frankly bizarre? Why the Nazi Luftwaffe decals when this aircraft entered prodution on 1947?
Another point of interest is the Photoetched panel, as it includes a nice cabin hoist!
