AIR-6 Soviet monoplane on skis Scale 1:72 Amodel AMO72309 Plastic Airplane Model Kit

AIR-6 Soviet monoplane on skis aircraft model kit in 1:72 scale represents a winter-equipped variant of the AIR-6 light aircraft developed in the Soviet Union during the interwar period. The ski undercarriage allowed operations from snow-covered and unprepared airfields.

The AIR-6 was designed in the early 1930s by the Yakovlev design bureau, which at that time used the “AIR” designation for its aircraft projects. The aircraft served in civil aviation roles such as training, liaison, and utility transport. The ski-equipped version was particularly suited for operations in northern regions and during winter conditions.

AIR-6 on Skis – Soviet Interwar Utility Aircraft

Fitted with fixed skis instead of wheels, this variant reflects practical adaptations made for year-round operation in harsh climates. Such configurations were common in Soviet civil aviation, where aircraft were frequently required to operate from snow-covered terrain.

This plastic model kit by AMODEL accurately represents the AIR-6 monoplane equipped with skis. The model belongs to the Aircraft Model Kits category and is produced in 1:72 scale, suitable for interwar Soviet civil aviation collections and winter operation dioramas.
