Hehehe...if you guys ever want to try a really BIG 1/72 scael model...and I beleive it is the largest there is...then try Anigrand's resin, 1/72 scael C-5 Galaxy!

41" long and 37" wingspan.

 

 

 

I pulled the trigger on one of those kits back in 2011.  From top to bottom, all 1/72nd, KC-135, C-5, B-52, B-36.

 

Imaine (and I think Anagrand or someone else my have one) of the Soviet Antonoc An-225.  I do know that Modelsvit is looking at nmarketing one in 2019:

Their latest post there on it went lik this:

"Dear friends,

Thank you for sharing your ideas, comments and remarks!

1/72 An-225 release is scheduled for 2019.

That will be a monster...."

Revell sold a -225, but it's 1/144. That's a good scale for these monsters.

Flight Engineer to pilot, "six turning and four burning".

Great build.

It was a great build.  Thanks for looking and responding!

God's speed.

Well, it's a year plus later, and I finally "finished" this monster project.  Probably wasn't the best kit to start on, because it was a mess.  5 of 6 propellors broken, and several parts misshapen, bent, and poor fit.

Was a bit reluctant to even post a picture because it's nowhere near the build quality I usually see here.  I see a million flaws but, for an old man with shaky hands and poor eyesight, I would say I'm 90% happy with it. 

No need to be reluctant, finishing that model is a 1% deal, 99% don't start or put it back on the shelf.  It looks fine to me.  Nice glass work and decaling.

Thank you!

I like the different shades of gray. Very well done.

Thanks for all the comments.  Much appreciated.

I want to give a shout out to viking73, who kindly sent me the 92nd BW decals which allowed me to mark the plane as one my father worked on.

She looks GREAT!

All of us make little mistakes we have to fix.

The way it looks after all of that is what counts and she looks really good!

Thanks for sharing!
