Antonov An-8 Aeroflot Scale 1:72 Amodel AMO72225 Plastic Airplane Model Kit

Antonov An-8 aircraft model kit in 1:72 scale represents the first twin-turboprop transport aircraft developed by the Antonov Design Bureau and an important milestone in Soviet post-war aviation.

The An-8 was designed in the early 1950s as a medium military transport aircraft featuring a rear loading ramp and high-mounted wing. Although originally developed for military use, a number of aircraft were operated in civilian service, including by Aeroflot, where they were used for cargo transport and special-purpose missions.

Entering service during the early Cold War period, the An-8 played a key role in shaping later Soviet transport aircraft designs, directly influencing the development of more advanced types such as the An-12. Its robust construction and rear-loading configuration marked a significant step forward in Soviet airlift capability.

This plastic model kit is produced by AMODEL and accurately represents the civilian Antonov An-8 Aeroflot configuration. The model belongs to the Aircraft Model Kits category and is manufactured in 1:72 scale, making it suitable for Soviet civil aviation and Cold War transport aircraft collections.
