My model dates from Amodel and was detailed with the accompanying etch parts. As a further treat the access panels of the engine and the cargo door was shown opened. The rib structure in the interior and the cargo floor were scratched.

The AN-2T with the board number 857 of NVA / LSK was used in connection squadrons VS-14 in Strausberg.
