It took me awhile, but I finally got some finished pics of my 1/72 scale Modelsvit An-124 "Ruslan" aka NATO code name: Condor.

I took these on the concrete sidewalk beneath my balcony stairs. I also placed a model of a 1/72 scale Russian T-80 tank next to it for size reference. It was the easiest thing I could pull from my storage tub holding my Russian vehicles.

For your perusal gentlemen....

It isn't the best shape it could be in, but it is done. I will possibly work on improving things a bit more later on and might shoot some updated pics then. For now, this bird is done and will be finding a spot on my ceiling soon.

Thanks all for looking in, comments are welcome.

Thank you Jed, Robert and Beekster! Yeah, she's a monster indeed! For those wanting to know, she is 37 inches long with a wingspan of 40 inches. Now I have to find room for this on my ceiling.
