A400M Revell 1/72 BELGIAN AIR FORCE CT04

[FullMetal]

Dear all here is my new project.

A massive A400M Transport Aircraft in scale 1/72 from Revell.

I will try to super detail the interior namely the cargo bay and other places.

So with no further do...Enjoy the beginning

Oh wouh, this will be a really interesting build!

Time to time, the Belgian air force A400M flies directly over our house, always very low.. never time to take a picture

That’s gonna be a big bird once assembled.

You're gonna need gallons of paint and gallons of liquid/tube glue for this one. Looking forward to seeing one.

Fullmetal, I commend you on taking on this project. I built one of those some time back and had the worst time with it. I hope it goes smoother than mine did.

Be sure to add enough weight to the nose of this bird; the model is a notorious tail sitter. When you think you have enough, add more. I made the mistake of closing everything up with inadequate nose weight and then added it through the open tail. I followed it with some CA glue to hold everything in place and ended up using too much which melted the nose. That was an ordeal to fix. The fuselage was a difficult assembly due to the flimsiness of the parts. It took awhile to make sure the joins were smooth and not stepped. Use a slow-acting glue for that. Be careful with the main landing gear, despite it looking very sturdy; it breaks easily. I was constantly re-gluing the wheels back on.

Here's what mine finally looked like when done:

Nice project! I’ve been seeing footage of these recently dropping paratroopers for the anniversary jumps at Normandy and Arnhem.
