Antonov An-2M Colt, 1/48 - Hobby Boss 81707

Scheduled for September 2026, the Antonov An-2M Colt model kit from Hobby Boss, reference 81707, recreated at the 1/48 scale features an agricultural version of the famous Antonov An-2 biplane.

The subject

The Antonov An-2 is a Soviet single-engine utility aircraft, recognizable by its biplane configuration and its large fuselage. Designed in the late 1940s, it underwent many adaptations for both civil and military missions. The An-2M variant is associated with agricultural work, particularly aerial spreading.

The Hobby Boss 81707 kit

This plastic kit to assemble in 1/48 scale includes more than 230 parts across 10 sprues. It offers detailed reproduction of the fuselage, wings, and cockpit area. The clear parts allow you to depict the canopy of this imposing biplane.

Once built, the model measures 276 mm in length with a 381.8 mm wingspan. Its format especially highlights the distinctive An-2 silhouette and the framework network between the two wing planes.

Assembly and finishing

Building a biplane requires careful preparation of the parts, especially when fitting the wings, struts, and landing gear. A dry fit helps check the overall alignment before gluing. Applying a primer then makes painting easier and enhances surface detail.

The kit includes decals for two versions. Glue, paints, and model-making tools are required to build and finish the model.
