The Antonov An-2, also known as the iconic "Antek" or "Annushka", is a Soviet multipurpose transport and agricultural aircraft that made its debut in 1947. Due to its durability, simple design, and versatility, it was widely used in civil aviation, agriculture, the military, and for rescue operations throughout Eastern Europe, Asia, and Africa.

The Eduard 48747 set is a collection of surface details such as panel lines and panels, bolts, flaps, and other details for the wings and fuselage.
