Hi all,

as part 78257 is finally available in tan, I was able to build a modified version of my previous model, depicting a livery which was applied to virtually hundreds of Aeroflot An-2s.
Other modifications include more prototypical wing bracing, slightly re-shaped (slimmer) rear fuselage, additional struts for the main landing gear, transparent cockpit windows (I had to use two 3rd-party elements here, for Lego doesn't produce the 99563 ingot in trans-clear), greater structural stability of the whole fuselage and a brand new display stand.
Judge for yourself:

Seems it is not working as it should. I'll have an admin look into it

Thank you! Still doesnt't seem to be working, though. :sceptic:

@Ecclesiastes I knew it must be my fault... :laugh:
Seriously: No idea what went wrong there, I just embedded Flickr images as always. Anyway, thank you very much for sorting it out manually! :thumbup:

Especially the propeller in motion! 

I have also built a regular 4-blade propeller. But I find it strange to see a model plane put on a display stand, so as to present it in flight, and then the propeller is standing still. So I came up with that transparent dish.

I think I've already seen one of your planes (or am I remembering wrong?)  ...wonderful details for the landing gear, but the detail I like the most is the effect of the propeller in motion: when I saw the first photo I said "wow" ...not true ...I said a big "WOW"! :steve::wub_drool:

Thanks @LEGO Train 12 Volts!

I guess that was the first version (or maybe the Tu-144D). However, I'm much more satisfied with the improved version and its new colour. Of course the differences are subtle, but I think the whole appearance is more realistic now.

Ohh, missed those rebrickable news...

I should check that I have the instructions to the stuff I bought from there.

+ cheers for the instructions.
