Historical Context
The Antonov An-26 is a turboprop military transport aircraft that has served a vital role in air logistics and tactical support. First flown on May 21, 1969, the An-26 was serially produced at the Kyiv Aviation Plant until 1986, with 1,403 units built. Its versatility and durability have made it a key part of many air forces, including that of Ukraine.
The "05 Blue" aircraft in this model represents a unit operated by the National Guard of Ukraine, known for its active participation in defense, humanitarian, and logistic missions. The model reflects the military livery and structure faithfully, right down to the moving propellers and rubberized landing gear — making it both dynamic and display-ready.
