I am going for nr 5. and the ukrainian decal version
This is not my normal size, I usually do 1/72 aircraft/armour and 1/35 armour.
Hope I have enough bench space...

It is indeed a big plane and model. About the progress, its more in waves than a continuous progress...

Great job so far! Looks like nice detail for 1/144. There was a real one in Antonov-markings in Toronto last week.

Nice job genmar!!!. Good luck. I am following to your big project

22 February 2018, 18:16

genmar Autor
Perhaps some extra clarification... I work at a small startup company that writes software for both manned and unmanned avionics products, its called "😭UN)MANNED".
My boss collects models of all the projects he ever worked on, you know the ones you can buy at airshows that look great but have hardly any details.
But he could not find any for our current project, the AN124, so he bought the Revell kit knowing building scale models is my hobby.
Although my 'think' is military stuff I did want to give it a go.
I hope I do not disappoint my boss...

What do you think about the scratchbuild nose cone? Good enough or does it need more?
