Historical Context
This model depicts the Antonov An-26, board number "04 Blue", operated by the Ukrainian State Emergency Service (SES). Built in 1977 under factory number 4709, the aircraft originally bore a Soviet-era factory livery. In 2016, it was fully repaired and repainted into its current Ukrainian SES colors, symbolizing its new role in disaster response and humanitarian missions.
The An-26 in this configuration is used for aerial rescue, medical evacuation, and emergency supply delivery in crisis zones. Its transformation mirrors the evolution of Ukraine’s air fleet from legacy service to modern national utility.
This 1:72 scale replica, cast in solid resin with precise detailing, faithfully reflects the real aircraft's structure, livery, and landing gear. It is a tribute to the essential role aviation plays in saving lives and responding to emergencies across Ukraine.
