An-12
Due to the unification of the production of An-10 and An-12, the middle part of the An-12 fuselage with a cargo compartment structurally coincided with the middle part of the An-10 fuselage, and in fact was structurally sealed. But the rear part of the fuselage, which had a cargo hatch and a ramp and communicated with the middle one, was initially leaky, and in general, the cargo compartment was not sealed. After the production of about a hundred aircraft, the middle part of the fuselage of the An-12 began to be produced leaky.
