The An-32 is basically a re-engined An-26. The launch customer was the Indian Air Force, which ordered this aircraft partly due to good relations between then USSR leader Leonid Brezhnev and then India leader Indira Gandhi. The An-32 is designed to withstand adverse weather conditions better than the standard An-26. The high placement of the engine nacelles above the wing allowed for larger diameter propeller, which are driven by 5,100 hp rated AI-20 turboprop engines, almost twice the power of the An-26's AI-24 powerplants. The price for a newly built An-32 was quoted as being 6-9 million dollars in 2000.

Wow! That's nearly three feet in US measurements, so it's definitely in my monster category. When you consider as well the meticulous detail and beautiful construction, it will be a knockout at any show or convention. Great job!

DI-3, very nice design. What software did you use to create the parts? The texturing / color is very good.

Where can we find the 1/33 scale verison? Very cool looking plane, love Turbo-prop planes. So cool the way the engines sit so high..........Rich

A beautiful plane. Your work on the cockpit is incredible. Did you make any patterns for it? If so, will they be available? You knowledge of this craft seems deep indeed. Excellent, all the way around! :)

Thanks all. All models I develop in free program Google SketchUp, and I use graphic editor PaintNET

I am envious of your ability to do so much with so little. I think if you made that cockpit available, people would "gobble" it right up! Very nice work! :)

Is there a spring inside the oleo shock absorber or just paper tension?

I'd like to add my "WOW" to the group. Fantastic design work, superb modeling skills. Looking forward to your future posts.

Then it's not a paper model :)

Other than that, I'm totally :eek:. I really have no words to express my appreciation (especially when I'm thinking at the wheels on my models, which look more like cylinders in pain)

Wooden models incorporate other materials including cotton and metal.
Plastic models incorporate just about every other material you can think of including carbon composites.

Metal models include plastic and rubber.

Therefore, a paper model is allowed to incorporate other materials and still be considered a paper model. I challenge anyone to search the Bible, Koran, Ten Commandments, Magna Carta, Bahagavad Gita, Upanishads, Treaty of Paris, the Sears Catalogue or any other official document that prohibits or declares heretical the use of other materials in a paper model. To declare so is just hubris of the most simplistic nature. If one chooses to use paper to simulate anything such as I-beams, cylindrical rods, aircraft blown canopies, etc, then kudos! If, on the other hand, one chooses to use alternate materials to achieve those shapes, then kudos to them, too! It's just a model, not the Cross upon which Jesus Christ was crucified.

Now, fellow paperians, that's how you rant!

In my youth, defunct valves from car tires became re-used as parts of of belt-fed machineguns that went on, in, or alongside various vehicle models.

Fragments of sprue were shaved down to be reassembled as firearms.
This, in 1:48, 1:72, 1:76, 1:87, 1:100, and 1:144.
I had no compunction at raiding mom's sewingbox for bent or blunted needles or pins, nor at raiding the stationary drawer for paperclips and staples.
Suitably disguised, all of these items eventually found employ in various of the models I'd built.

I'd have no hesitation in employing similar items where I felt it necessary in a paper model.

Maj. Charles my friend, I'm in agreement with you regarding hubris being an oversimplification.

As for what our colleague Di-3 has achieved with the springs from the lighter: I admire such ingenuity. :)

Kind and Respectful Regards my friends, Uyraell.

NAVIGA/ Class S-7. Models from a cardboard and paper.
Cardboard models are the models made manually of a cardboard (or papers are more dense than 80 g/m ²) or papers, from sets on sale in trade (the goods from trade). Cuts can be painted over. For improvement of model it is authorized to carry out completions and to use other materials. If necessary documents of a design are attached. Thus model signs from a cardboard should be kept: visible details of the case, the superstructures corresponding to a set. New coloring of model isn't allowed. If changes are made, it is necessary to confirm them with presented documentation or photos. Change of scale is authorized, however the copy of the original should be presented.

There ya go. You can use other materials and still be considered a paper model. If find it interesting that the rule identifies cardboard models as those from "sets on sale in trade." This must be a rule older than the internet because downloads are not included.

Where did you find this?

How did you make the cockpit windscreen? The clear windows look awesome.
