Flankerman Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Great news - for 1:144 scale modellers..... it'll make an interesting companion to Revell's An-124 & C-17 in the same scale. But that isn't a large Cock.. THIS is a large Cock...... Amodel's 1/72 scale An-22 'Amonster' - built a few years ago now. Interestingly, in Greek myth, Antaeus was defeated by another large 4-engined transport - Hercules. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pin Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) Interestingly, in Greek myth, Antaeus was defeated by another large 4-engined transport - Hercules. Ken, you are mixing up Greek and Roman mythology - Hercules is Roman name for Heracles, and Heracles is H.P. 42/45, that is also 4-engine Edited April 4, 2013 by Pin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flankerman Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I took this photo at Gostomel, Kiev, in 2006..... note the guy by the front wheel..... This one at a rainy Tver - its home base - in 2007..... ... and this freshly refurbished - and repainted - one at MAKS 2009..... Ken 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I really like the look of that 3 colour camo, even a smaller 1/144 would look spectacular in that. I've long liked the An22, there is something about the way the cockpit sits proud of the fuselage & those twin fins that harks back to an earlier era. It simply oozes character. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicPl Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 This one was at Yeovilton a few years ago................ Got to sit in it, but they would not permit photographs, pity .............................Smudge Great pictures! They would not permit taking photographs inside...... what is that all about? What secrets could it possibly contain? Or is it just remnants of old Soviet mentality? regards Nicolai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it just remnants of old Soviet mentality? regards Nicolai The An-22 in swordfish fairey's photos at Yeovilton belongs to the Antonov Design Bureau - not the Russian military. But they let us aboard it at Gostomel - and I took loads of pics of the interior. They also let us inside the RusAF one at Tver - the An-22's home base in Russia - and we could take as many photos as we wanted.....

rafrobbo Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 (edited) What shade of green is that cockpit? It doesn't look like the usual bright green seen in your mig's and eduard etch. Looks more pleasing to the eye! Edited April 5, 2013 by rafrobbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveinns Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Great to see images of this plane again. I had the good fortune to see one turn up @ Farnboro' back in 1988 as I remember. It bought in a replacement engine for the Antonov 124. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I remember seeing that one on the telly, iirc, it dropped a wheel off the runway on landing. With an undercart like that, it probably wasn't too much of a deal. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albeback52 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Definitely not my preferred scale but, let's be practical!! . The 1/72 Amonster kit is unaffordable so, I'll settle for this! Any news on a release date? Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenDragon Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Any price/availability on this yet? Box was at Nuremburg. Paul Harrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kampartiger Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Can't resist from buying this monsterous miniature.can't afford the Amodel kit since is was way too expensive and too big for my 12x10 hobby room.so by hook or by crook i've got to hv one!Probably do the grey one since all that camo will spoil the pleasant appearance of the mighty cock.

Arpie Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 She looks very nice may have to see about picking one up any news on price? One odd thing is why are the reg codes all backed by a white surround on the decal sheet when some will need to go on grey portions of the a/c?

Pin Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 This "surround" is not white - transparent Price in Russia is 1670 RUR - about £30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
