Antonov AN-72 Collection

Break free from the runway with the Antonov An-72 Collection at MTS Aviation Models. Known as the "Coaler," this unique STOL (Short Take-Off and Landing) jet transport is instantly recognizable by its overwing engine placement, which harnesses the Coandă effect to generate immense lift. Our collection of precision diecast models captures the distinct engineering and rugged charm of this Soviet-designed marvel.

• Unique Design: Faithfully reproduces the "Cheburashka" silhouette with large high-bypass turbofans mounted above the wing leading edge, a design that boosts lift and protects engines from debris on unpaved strips.
• STOL Capability Details: Highlights the advanced high-lift devices, including double-slotted flaps and leading-edge slats, along with the robust landing gear designed for rough-field operations.
• Operational Variants: Includes models of the An-72 military transport and the specialized An-74 polar logistics variant, featuring distinctive details like observation blisters and optional ski landing gear.
