I like everything about that kit, apart from the '£TBA' bit at the end.............. 

I think I'll stick my my Revell 1/144 version.

The word shocked is not appropriate for how much this monster is going to cost ...absolutely dumb founded might come close 😆
There's also the price of new garage that'll need to be built to put it in .

What did they find to add to get another 225 parts?  Individual fan blades?
 

Basicaly my thoughts as well

That model would take up 1 square yard. You need the aluminium wing mounts just so you can take it apart to go in the car to the show!

On the bright side, at least it ain't a full resin fuselage

Certainly more practical to transport to shows

i dread to think how long the wheels and landing gear would last with the mass of the fiberglass on them as well......
and i normally have a hankering for insanely large kits,   say do you think if i ask nicely they'll do it in 1:48?

3D printing... and it'd probably be lighter than fiberglass, too...
Then you could make the landing gear more solid and able to take the weight, too.

There's definitely 3D printers out there now big enough to be able to print the AN in 48th .
Can print it honey comb so it's strong but light  and the fuselage can be printed in sections so they interlock ..making it easier again 

[Rick Lowe]

You'd probably only need a 10-15% infill, which would also be easier to remove.

And you could split the sections on the panel lines.
Printed vertically, the layering would be less obvious and easier to fill, than printed on the flat.

So the option to build a stretched version to fulfill Kits rule #1

And why not?
