Modelsvit 1/72 An-225 Mriya Re-release

[RichB]

For those who want to get rid of all that pesky furniture in the living room this might be the kit. It has a 1228mm wingspan, 1167mm long and weighs in at 2.565 kg.

And to complete the set, the An-225 with Buran Space Shuttle is due out later this year.

Cheers,

I hope they build it again.

Go for it Mark! That wingspan is a little over 4 ft and the length is a bit under 4 ft. Would hate to see how big it would be in 1/48th scale.

I hope they build it again.

I am not sure, but I believe that there is a second unfinished airframe someplace if it has not been destroyed in all the nonsense going on over there.

@Heavens Eagle, you are correct. The Ukrainians have the second prototype and it was spared the destruction. The Antonov executives who made the decision not to move the Mriya have been prosecuted and there is an intent to complete the second prototype. Click photos to read article:
