Han Solo Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Again something new from me. This time an Airbus A400M in 1/72 scale from Revell. I got the kit 2020 as a gift for my 50th birthday. This is the re-release from 2017. To enhance the somewhat simply presented model I got myself an engine from black dog and wheels from Armory. The model was painted with colors from MRP. The gray camouflage color is MRP105. The decals were a bit difficult at times. The details inside are a bit basic and some are missing on the outside as well. But I left it like that. I hope you still like the plane. 69 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertie McBoatface Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 When I saw Airbus, I expected an airliner. This was a nice surprise. Super build! I love that little engine detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky Keg Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Large airplane kits tend to have issues with the lengthy seams found on them. You did an outstanding job at eliminating them to perfection with this one. Well done!!!!! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRMRL Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 To echo the other comments, I was looking at this and enjoying your nice build, then I saw the engine detail - wow, that really elevates it for me, beautifully painted all round, but again the details really make it stand out - nice!

kapam Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 That is magnificent! I was tempted to buy the kit a few times, during visits to a local hobby shop. The box was huge so I doubted being able to sneak it into the house! No way I could have done it to perfection, the way you have, so I'm probably better off without it in my stash! Absolutely beautiful! 👏👏👏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cifenet Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 I can see extreme efforts went into building this model! Everything is very convincing and detailed nicely. It is definitely fun to watch, thanks for sharing this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Dyck Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 (edited) Wonderful rendition of this bird! The MRP colours are perfect I think! Looks very realistic! Nice to see something from LTG 62 where I served in the late 80´s. Meanwhile you can see it daily here over Celle. Easy to detect by the strange noise the plane makes. Btw, the engine is spot on!
