Antonov An-30 “Clank” aircraft model kit in 1:72 scale represents a specialized Soviet aerial cartography and photographic survey aircraft developed for high-precision mapping missions.

The An-30 was derived from the Antonov An-24 airframe and modified to meet the requirements of aerial survey operations.
