Antonov An-2

[claidheamhmor]

I finished the Antonov An-2 model kit, Italeri 1/72. It was/is the largest single-engined biplane in the world, with an 18m wingspan! This one is in the markings of North Vietnam. Not a great kit, and I had to fabricate a missing bit of cockpit glass. I did learn the use of oil paints for oil leaks and weathering, and doing the wire rigging was interesting (lots of tiny holes to drill!)

You have a good eye for detail and must be extremely patient. This look good.
