Everything Else....
We, at Pinnacle are now specialising in making scaled down models/ lapel pins and cufflinks of existing and phased out aircraft. The intricate detailing calls for the utmost perfection in production. The same can be seen in the models that have already been created for a few of our premier Indian Air Force Squadrons.
The Antonov An-12 (NATO name: Cub) is a four-engined turboprop transport aircraft. It is the military version of the Antonov An-10. The first prototype flew in December 1957. Over 900 had been built before production finally ended in 1973. Military Soviet examples have a defensive tail gun turret. The Indian Air Force inducted the first aircraft in 1962. Six of these aircraft soon took part in airlifting army re-inforcements to Ladakh during the Sino-Indian War of 1962. The An-12s were also used as heavy bombers during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971. All IAF An-12s were phased-out of active service in the 1990s.
Length: 33.10 m
Height: 10.53 m
Maximum speed: 777 km/h.
