dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 (edited) This small Russian trijet was the spiritual successor to the Lisunov LI-2( the unlicensed copy of the DC-3). It was designed to operate into small unpaved airstrips and carry up to 30 passengers. it was very successful and was used extensively within the Soviet field of influence. It also holds the distinction in the UK of being the only jet aircraft ever to have operated the now closed Portsmouth Airport with it's short grass runways. This one is in the colours of CSAm Czechoslovakian Airlines. The kit is an old VEB item with a/m decals by Revaro. Thanks for viewing Seen alongside my TU-142 at the same scale! The difference is all too apparent. Edited January 19, 2020 by dodgy-alan 1 Link to post Share on other sites
