The Tupolev Ant-2,
reputedly the first all-metal passenger plane made in Russia, shares its looks and technology with some cousins from other nations.
It is simple enough (or
should I say “simplified enough”?) to be constructed from
“corrugated” styrene sheet and a few plastic rods and metal bits.

The
“limousine” configuration was also used by other manufacturers and
confered attractive, curved lines that blend beautifully.
Every
time I am able to finish a model like this one, I realize how much do we
owe to fellow modelers, historians and enthusiasts that make the
information available to us. To them all: Thanks!
Gabriel
