Which means the AG600 has spent a year on ground trials.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Just to clarify, the pics and the article are not from the same source. Sorry, I should have made that clear. The article had no pics, so I put two on from a Google image search, chosen mostly because they were the right size.

Is that a Red Arrow peeking out from behind it's nose ?

Front end looks a bit of an after thought to me. Almost as though it was designed by a different team to that which designed the back end and the wings ?

Most of the thing is so like a Shin-Meiwa that it's hard to believe they weren't at least consultants on the project. The nose looks like somebody crossed a Be-200 with a Be-40 Albatross and grafted it on.

We'll have one of them in 1/72 please Trumpeter.
:thumbsup:

...and then three years later, we'll have one with the same number of prop blades on each engine please.... :wacko:

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

It's a bargain, given that you could sleep on the wing once it's built, or use it as a workbench.   :rolleyes:
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

I was thinking "meh, A Model, it'll be crap" and then I read the words saying 'this is too big to send by post' and I wanted one really badly.
I think I have a problem...

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Yeah I did, it's an Xian Y-20. From what I've read and can see of it, it's a development of the Il-76 Candid
