£132.29 - for a 1/72 plane kit !!!

Guess it'll be a huge kit - Amodel 1/72 Myasischev 3M-T Atlant with out sized cargo

Yep. it will be big. I've seen Amodel's standard bomber version of the Bison. Comes in right around the size of a B-52 in the same scale.

The high price isn't really for the kit, but for the hand laid fibreglass that the primary fuselage and wing parts are made from. All big Amodel kits incorporate fibreglass components, I suspect the company doesn't possess an injection molding machine to handle real big stuff.

If you want expensive, look at 1:35 armor. I recently drooled over a Tatra AV-815 heavy recovery truck. That one was priced at ~ E 300.

And about that Bison: Pity they included a dumb ol' cylinder as the 'outsize cargo', instead of the Buran.

You could always scratchbuild the Buran config:


or its more common parent: the An-225
