Antonov An-2 'Colt' on Skis 1:72 Scale Model Kit - Trumpeter 01607  [TP01607]

Trumpeter Antonov An-2 'Colt' Ski Edition in 1:72 Scale

This plastic injection model in 1:72 scale portrays the Antonov An-2 equipped with skis and is issued as a hobby-grade kit intended for assembly and display by modellers and collectors.

First flown in the late 1940s, the An-2 is a single-engine biplane noted for its rugged, utilitarian design. Adaptable undercarriage options such as floats and skis allowed operation from water or snow, while its simplicity made it suitable for short-field and rough-strip work. The type served widely for agricultural, liaison, and light transport duties across many regions in the mid-20th century.

The ski-fitted version represents winter operations where standard wheels are impractical. Builders should be prepared for typical biplane tasks: careful strut alignment, seam work, and rigging. Historical photograph study will support authentic ski fitment and winter paint choices for a convincing finished model.

An accurate small-scale representation of a ski-equipped utility biplane, well suited to display projects that highlight cold-climate service and operational detail.
