Plastic model Antonov An-8 civil aviation Scale 1:72 Amodel AMO72228 Plastic Airplane Model Kit

Antonov An-8 civil aviation aircraft model kit in 1:72 scale represents a Soviet twin-turboprop transport aircraft adapted for non-military and civil transport roles during the early Cold War period.

The An-8 was originally developed as a military transport aircraft, but several examples were later operated in civil aviation for cargo transport and special-purpose missions. Its high-wing layout, rear loading ramp, and robust airframe made it suitable for operating from a wide range of airfields, including those with limited infrastructure.

In civil service, the An-8 supported freight transportation and logistical operations across the Soviet Union, complementing military airlift activities. The type played an important transitional role in Soviet transport aviation, influencing later designs such as the more widely produced An-12.

This plastic model kit is produced by AMODEL and accurately represents the Antonov An-8 civil aviation 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.
