Was watching an article on Air Force Times ref sending armament to Ukraine. Featured was film of a US C-130 delivering a HIMARS unit. That was not the 'feature' in my mind. In the background of the C-130 taxying and later as the HIMARS was disgourged, you could see vision of an AN.2. Special thing about this AN.2 was the use of (at least) two tone grey and white camouflage in what I was sure was a modern digital pattern but a bit 'wavey'. Very unusual but very nice. There was a jet fighter in the far background but too far away from camera to ascertain its national markings. Very nice AN.2 and perhaps something that the modellers would like to sink their teeth into.

Any chance of a screen grab?

Looks fantastic. Best An2 scheme imho - certainly better than the Russian civil and military ones.

There was a video floating around recently of one of those making a powered, and very smoky, landing back on the airfield after losing an entire cylinder (losing in the literal sense too!). Pretty tough machine.
