Adam Banks Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I've finished my repaint of Neville Cameron's An-2 (LY-AKH). Here it is arriving at Thames/Coromandel in 1995 after its epic flight from Lithuania. The only An-2 in New Zealand (I think) - sadly now grounded and resides at the Wanaka Museum. NZNI NZTH is a perfectly passable rendition of the real thing, though I wouldn't know what it looked like in 1995! The file is on AussieX: http://aussiex.org/forum/index.php?/files/file/3835-sibwings-antonov-an2-ly-akh/ The Sibwings An-2 is a professional product through and through. The paint kit is often a good indication of the overall attention to detail - and this one is well laid out and easy to work with. No wonder that the FSX world is being flooded by Antonovs! Adam.

Adam Banks Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 Fantastic shots Adam , this baby is next on my to buy list.You won't regret it! It reminds me of the CS Hercules ... it just "feels right" - behaves like a real aeroplane. There's no fancy hi-tech, but plenty to play with in the VC: aileron, elevator and rudder trim - and it's perfect for those tiny/rough airstrips and slow photo-shoots! Adam.

Adam Banks Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 I wondered if you had bought the AN 2.  Not bad is it. Thanks for the excellent re paint. I have it installed and flying it now Bob - you know me better than that! 1) It's not a helicopter. 2) It's Rooshian/Polish. 3) It's almost as "beautiful" as the Wilga (arrrgh!). 4) It's not expensive! I was wondering myself how long *you'd* hold out! Just a shame we never got to see it when it was flying. Neville Cameron is an old friend of Gina's. BTW - thanks for all the nice comments, folks! I enjoyed doing the repaint. Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
