tMikha Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) To say that this is “great work” or “it’s a stuning model” means to say nothing! i’ve seen Mryia in 1/72 only twice, including this model. First was in USSR livery and with Buran on it’s back. And both times I can’t imagine what an perseverance and skill needed to built this tsar-model. Comparison with 1/72 tank espetially impressive! Congratulations! Edited June 14, 2022 by tMikha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is a meagre effort in comparison, but I can take some comfort in that I am a member of a fairly small club of those who have built the kit. Are you aware of any others? Let me show one more finished 1/72 Mriya. That was first I seen in this scale, plus it has Buran shuttle in company. Absolutely great work. As I understand, that man worked at Antonov bureau, now retired. https://karopka.ru/community/user/13030/?MODEL=602126 And here is his (too short in my opinion) description of process (excuse me for using auto-translate) Good afternoon! I apologize to everyone for not being able to give a description of the models when uploading. Initially, the project was conceived as AN-225.

Two models, these are two creepy structures called (RESIN) To make this blow joint, you need to do two things.This is a retractable landing gear and an external platform. conceived, done. As for the AN-225, it's 50x50. Unlike the AN-124, this is a new casting of such components as the chassis, the engine group and the gondola itself. Otherwise, it's the same hack even for a lot of money. In the AN-225, the nose cook has been modified, an almost meter-long cabin, a ramp-ramp has been made. All landing gear struts have been modified (under the squat principle). Friends, you can write endlessly about this blow... What exactly interests whom, ask. I will answer with pleasure. The models are in front of you. Enjoy your viewing. Edited June 14, 2022 by tMikha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the An-2 in the last photo, it's on of my favourites. Thanks for sharing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natter Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Superb. A double tribute; both to the brave people of Ukraine and to yourself for overcoming personal limitations and a challenging kit to produce such a fabulous model. I have to say it again - superb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
