Radders Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 When I heard about this kit it was a must buy for me, (being the big Soviet/Russian/Eastern European fan that I am...) I was going to wait until the new year, but the itch kept getting worse so I went and got it. Just had to be done. Great looking kit, although a shame only one choice of livery, I would of much preferred one of the older schemes.. If anyone does a decal sheet for this, I shall get a second kit for definate, but this will be built OOB!

Out2gtcha Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 So what, nearly 25" or so? It looks like a really nice kit. I'm definitely interested in acquiring one. Radders 1
Radders Posted December 30, 2018 Author Posted December 30, 2018 24" wide & 23" long... decent size! Here's some photos of the one on the Revell stand at Telford. The Madhatter, LSP_K2 and Out2gtcha 3
seiran01 Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 Brett Green posted good photos of a test shot a few weeks back on Hyperscale. It looks great and is awfully tempting!
The Madhatter Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 As soon as it arrives here im getting one for sure. Been waiting years for an AN225
PhilB Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 I was lucky enough to be out near the runway at JFK back in 2002 and saw this thing take off. Impressive! Out2gtcha 1

ScottsGT Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 I’m going to have to go there. Will look good next to my old C-5 kits.

We had it at an airshow on our base in the mid-nineties. We had to re-position it and I wound up driving the tow vehicle. So I can say I towed the largest plane in the world. I still remember the flooring on the flight deck, you could feel it flex. The flooring was made out of titanium and therefore very thin. It was a good climb to the cockpit. During the actual airshow I was working the flightline. I was called to the 225 because people were climbing the main gear. No duff, I counted 11 people as I kicked them out of the gear, they were climbing the gear like it was a tree. It still visits my city yearly as it does a lot of work moving oil field equipment in and out of Canada. Edited January 1, 2019 by ScoobyDoo PhilB 1
The Madhatter Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 I'd love to see you enter this into the Multi Engine GB... hint hint wink wink Out2gtcha 1

Unfortunately at 1/144th the scale does not qualify for the GB. All LSP GB entries would need to be 1/35th or larger. Radders 1
