We proudly present the Antonov An-24B model kit in 1/72 scale, manufactured by Amodel. This precisely crafted kit allows you to build a replica of the Soviet transport aircraft, which played a crucial role in civil and military aviation worldwide.
The Antonov An-24B is a reliable turboprop transport aircraft, introduced into service in the 1960s by the Antonov design bureau. It features two engines mounted above the wings, which allowed for efficient operation even on short runways and in diverse weather conditions. This aircraft, capable of carrying approximately 50 passengers or equivalent cargo, was widely used by civil airlines and the armed forces of many Eastern Bloc countries, with some examples remaining in service to this day, testifying to the durability and versatility of its design.
Model Kit Set Characteristics
The Amodel 1/72 Antonov An-24B model kit set is a typical plastic model kit, requiring basic modeling skills. The entire kit consists of precisely reproduced components that, once assembled, form a realistic miniature of the aircraft.
Assembly and Painting Process
Model assembly involves cutting plastic parts from the sprues, precisely fitting them, and gluing them according to the detailed instruction manual. After the gluing stage is complete, the model should be painted with model paints, following the included painting scheme. Please note that some details may require painting before their final attachment. The final step is applying the decals, which will give the model an authentic appearance.
Kit Contents
The kit includes all necessary components to build the model, with the exception of paints and glue:
Assembly instruction manual – a detailed step-by-step guide.
Plastic sprues – containing all structural parts of the model.
Decal sheet – for reproducing authentic markings and details.
Clear parts – dedicated to the cockpit canopy and passenger windows.
The kit does NOT include model paints or model glue. These components must be purchased separately.
Recommended Tools and Materials
For proper assembly and finishing of the Antonov An-24B model, we recommend the following tools and materials:
Side cutters – for precisely separating parts from the sprues.
Hobby knife – for minor adjustments and cleaning edges.
File or sandpaper – for smoothing surfaces and removing flash.
Plastic model cement – ensuring strong bonds.
Paintbrush or airbrush – for applying model paints.
Model paints – in appropriate colors, according to the painting scheme.
Suggested Paint Colors
To reproduce typical painting schemes for the Antonov An-24B aircraft, we recommend using the following paint colors:
Light Gray / White – for the upper surfaces of the fuselage and wings (common in civil schemes).
Light Blue / Light Gray – for the lower surfaces of the fuselage and wings.
Silver / Metallic – for engines, landing gear, and selected details.
Black / Dark Gray – for tires, cockpit, and other small elements.
Additionally, depending on the chosen version (civilian or military), shades of green or brown may be needed for camouflage.
