Product Description
We are pleased to announce two new 1/144 scale aircraft kits from A-Model of Ukraine.

The An-72 is a twin-engine short take-off and landing jet transport aircraft developed by the Soviet Antonov Design Bureau (now ANTK Antonov of Ukraine).
Its NATO codename is [Kola], and in Russia, it's affectionately called [Cheburashka] because, when viewed from the front, its engines resemble large ears.
To improve STOL performance, this aircraft utilizes the Coanda effect by mounting its engines on the upper surface of the wings.
The An-74TK-300, which made its maiden flight in 2001, was developed as a civilian transport aircraft, so operational costs and flight speed were prioritized over STOL (Short Take-Off and Landing) capabilities, and therefore the engines were mounted on pylons under the wings.
It is said that the new aircraft boasts a speed increase of 40-50 km/h and a 20% improvement in fuel efficiency compared to the conventional An-72.
The An-72P was developed as a maritime patrol aircraft.
- Includes photo-etched parts and one type of Ukrainian National Guard decal.
