Antonov An-8 Scale 1:72 Amodel AMO72141-01 Scale Airplane Model Kit

Antonov An-8 aircraft model kit in 1:72 scale represents one of the earliest Soviet turboprop-powered military transport aircraft developed during the early Cold War period.

The Antonov An-8 was designed in the early 1950s as a medium military transport aircraft for the Soviet Air Force. It became the first Antonov transport aircraft to use turboprop engines and played a key role in the transition from piston-engine transports to more modern airlift platforms.
