Volga Dneiper are regulars there mate and you just have to love Ukranian/Russian heavy lift

Fantastic!  I've always been hoping someone will do a Myria conversion for Revells An-124, but to no avail.

Fantastic!  I've always been hoping someone will do a Myria conversion for Revells An-124, but to no avail.

An outfit called HeavyKits, had an An-124 and the 225 in the works, both in 1/72 scale.  The last I heard was the owner was trying to sell everything including his 1/72 Hughes Hercules flying boat (25 were made) as he didn't have time to continue with it.

Wow, they'd take up around a square meter!  I'd love to see them, probably never get around to them myself though.

Must admit I would love one too , but short of divorce and a lottery win it's not going to happen.  I have had a 1/72 An22 for 3 years and haven't started it as it's too big....It's now my retirement kit, for my old age when the kids have gone in 20 years

I've got the An-124 in 1/144 along with a C-5 and 747 for comparison, there's not a lot of difference between the An-124 and C-5 but the 747 is quite a bit smaller.

I've got a C-5 and a couple of 747's in 1/72 so just need an An-124 to complete the set in that scale.

Any increase in the number of Chinooks seen over Southern UK these days is 'cos Qinetic are getting their act together and shoving the HC3s out of Boscombe and on to Odiham at last. The RAF are putting in lots of hours flight testing them before sending them East, so I'm informed by persons 'close to me'.

Not a plane but quite an amazing sight this morning.  We woke up to some ground fog which depending on which way we looked, had about 1 km visibility.

The sun though was just rising over a nearby hill and was perfectly visible and absolutely dead round and a multitude of red shades, from crimson to dark orange.  I took some photos but I'm afraid my little Cybershot just doesn't do it justice, and I tried various settings but just couldn't get it to take a photo of what we were seeing.

Top pic was taken without flash, bottom pic I tried the night setting.

Today?

Nothing! If the cloud base was any lower it would be inside here with me! I can't even see the top of the phone pole at the bottom of the garden!!

The weather forecast today was for '....sunny spells with cloudy intervals....' No idea where they got that from.
