stevehnz Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 truly impressive & a very smart looking piece of modelling. I first saw one of these at the Australian bicentennial Airshow in 1988 when they were still "the other side". It impressed the hell out of me, the more so when I think about its display routine, low, slow & dirty & all over the place, would've done a much smaller plane proud. Your model has captured the look of the beast to a tee. Steve. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

strikeeagle801 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 A great build! I've had the opportunity to see one some-what close a couple of times. Before Boeing made the Dreamlifter (the converted 747 that looks like a hotdog bun) they used the AN-124's to carry 787 parts back and forth. They are an amazing aircraft to see up close, and as was said, you captured the look of them very well. Aaron Quote Link to post Share on other sites

C-130CrewChief Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I get to see these all the time at Moffett Field here in California, and this looks the part! As a matter of fact one is sitting across the field with a KC-135 parked near by looking like a toy! Nice piece of work brother! Curt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
