Completed:: January 9, 2024
Time spent:: 50hrs approx.

The A400M in 1:144 from Revell, done as MSN1 during the last part of its career.
Some artistic license has been used, as the configuration of the different appendages that comprised the Flight Test Instrumentation suite hugely varied depending on what was being tested at the moment. Lots of orange things, lots of speed tape...
References are the pictures found on the internet, mainly in Airliners.net.
Currently the aircraft is retired and looked after in the Aeroscopia museum, in Toulouse, France.
The model was done as a commision for one of the former Test Flight Engineers who operated the real thing.
