This is another Shelf Queen off the Shelf of Doom. I started this Revell 1/72 scale A-400 Grizzly back in 2015. Darn thing fought me tooth and nail the whole time! Finally, I buckled down and kept at it until I could finally call this bird finished. Here is my first finished model for July; the Revell 1/72 scale A-400 Grizzly in French Air Force markings: ' My apologies for the multi-colored background, but this is one freakin' huge beast and most extremely difficult to photograph in my limited space. Nobody will be seeing this in person anyway unless they come over and take a gander at it hanging on the ceiling. It just ain't worth bringing out. Pics make it look better than it is. I'm just thrilled to finally call this thing done!

Thank you guys! I appreciate it very much, especially given how difficult this beastie was to finish. Carlos, I don't remember for sure but she's pushing two feet long and somewhere around 21" wingspan.
Thank you Leon and Johnny. Yeah, she's huge.
Thank you Joe! She's got too many flaws to bring out, but she does look good on my ceiling.
Thank you Ogrejohn!
