A most excellent model, the only flaw being the slightly canted engine nacelle on the starboard side. The paint is excellent and the positioning of the pad printing is perfect. I only wished there were more of these Big Birds available in this scale! However, this one dates to 2003, and they are now hard to come by. See a size comparison with a Heavy Lift IL-76 in 1/400 scale here. The grids in the pictures are 1 inch.
