That boxart must depict an empty aircraft. Every IL-76 I have seen struggles to get off the runway with a VERY shallow climb out.

I have a Trumpy one. I wonder how they compare?

Artwork looks very odd to me, doing that manoeuvre at such a low altitude is just asking for trouble!

They are russian so they don't mind.....B)

I have seen some very strange/risky approaches during my years of spotting....once a Il76 scared oure whole town ****less during a sort of a short final on whatever he was aming for while trying to land in Rotterdam....

Perhaps the crew are executing a particularly low-level manoeuvre and haven't actually been in recent contact with the ground. Yet :o

They never take off at that angle though, never ever. Doesn't mean to say I don't like the art though, it's different.

but they can take if in an interesting way nonetheless!

I know they do, I've seen lots taking off... but nearly tail striking is unheard of, like the boxart.. I still like the boxart though regardless of how made up it is. Would be good to cut it out and frame it for the model to sit on after.

Re. the box art, it certainly looks like he's used the full length of that runway though. He's only just rotated before etc threshold of the other end!
