1/144 Antonov An-22 "Cock" - A&A Models



1/144 Antonov An-22 "Cock" - A&A Models

Not a "rebox" of the Eastern Express, but "enhanced kit" - Improved the molds, added new spruces (details) and new decals

The Antonov An-22 "Antei" (Ukrainian: Ан-22 Антей,[1] An-22 Antej; English Antheus) (NATO reporting name "Cock") is a heavy military transport aircraft designed by the Antonov Design Bureau in the Soviet Union. Powered by four turboprop engines each driving a pair of contra-rotating propellers, the design was the first Soviet wide-body aircraft and remains the world's largest turboprop-powered aircraft to date. The An-22 first appeared publicly outside the Soviet Union at the 1965 Paris Air Show. Since then, the model has seen extensive use in major military and humanitarian airlifts for the Soviet Union.

Eastern  has been busy over 2012 issuing a number of kits featuring aircraft produced by Russian manufacturers!

I have already featured the Eastern Express Helicopter releases this year see ( Mil Mi-26 'Halo' ) ( Mil Mi-8MT/Mi-17 ).

 I seem to have over looked the Tu-134 UBL (Trainer for the Tu-160 Bomber for which there are a number of  kits and upgrades). Any one interested in the Tu-134 should also look at the "small stuff conversions" for the Zvezda Tu134 (review)

1/144 Antonov AN-2 "Colt" by A-Model






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,
http://modelizm.pl.ua/publ/an_2_kolt_1144_ot_amodel/10-1-0-712

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!
