The Russians are coming...
For months I have eluded to a Russian big diecast...Well its out! the scale is 1:144 and it is an IL -76 Mainstay (A-50)...coming from ADI the U.S. distributor and owner of Gemini Jets...This model is NOT a gemini...Ive seen it close up and it is super detailed with moving flaps and elevators...
This may not be everybodys cup of tea since its military, but hey its Russian and its cool too...There will be no other models of this nature, as this is a one-off done for a customer so again supplies will be low..

Re: The Russians are coming...
Great news. This is such an overlooked goldmine by manufacturers, is it due to licensing perhaps? Hope there will be more (AN-12 for example or IL-76 without the radome). Any preview pics are highly anticipated!
