Antonow AN-2 (Polar Aviation) / MDK / 1:50

Itīs been a while ... almost a year without any remarkable modelling ...

I had to retrain my clumsy fingers in handling scissors and glue.
For that purpose i choose a model not overly complex and with mostly larger parts

So, the last weeks i built the Polar Aviation variant of the Antonov AN-2, designed by the german publisher MDK (Mitteldeutscher Kartonmodellverlag).
I built straight away from the kit, without any extras. I didnīt cut out the windows in the fuselage and cockpit, which can be done of course.
Although the wings are square shaped (without any complicated geometry), and therefore should be easyly formed and folded, i managed to "add" some light dents to the front edges ... ... yep, still need some practice ...

Anyhow, the ANNA is now finished and on its way to the north pole

Nice work!


This version has an element of cuteness in it.

Fantastic! Pete, don't be too tough on yourself - I'm yet to reach the standard I see in your pics. Cheers!

I like what I see. For a year layoff you have done quite well. Looking forward to your future models as you dust off and reacquire your skills. Shouldn't take long.
