peter havriluk Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 I am in the final stages of assembling this kit and it ain't been fun. Parts are poorly detailed and many are out of scale (wing struts way too thick) and parts fit is....vague, with large gaps. Were this kit's molds purchased from some other kit maker and not sourced from Italeri's own mold developers? The kit quality is not what I've come to expect from Italeri. The kit text says the parts were molded in the Czech Republic. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
southwestforests Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 According to Scalemates the kit was originally 1996 by Bilek; https://www.scalemates.com/kits/italeri-091-antonov-an-2-colt--145962 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

peter havriluk Posted September 12, 2022 Author Share Posted September 12, 2022 Done. On the shelf. Looks nice, except for those huge wing struts. Back to the project I put aside to make room for this 'quickie' (Ha!) project. Did the wire bracing three times with that stretchy elastic line. . But it's done.
