1/144 scale Airbus A-400M (RMAF) scheme
Good day to all !
This is my first post regarding aviation subject lets start with a brief history of the aircraft . The A-400M "Atlas" was added to the Royal Malaysian Air Force inventory back in early 2015 after its purchase by the Malaysian Ministry of Defense. The A-400M will be undertaking countless transportation tasks which was previously carried out solely by the RMAF C-130 Hercules.
This model kit is manufactured by Revell in 1/144 scale which is quite huge given its small scale generally. The only conversion that made this into a RMAF version was the roundels as it was custom printed by myself using decal sheet. The overall grey used is C335 Mr.Color which suits the Malaysian scheme. Overall it was a textbook build with little gaps here and there which was treated using putty and filler. In my opinion doing my first 1/144 scale transporter aircraft was a pleasant experience and I hope do build more aircraft model kit in the future. Thank you.

Nice work Mee Wan, good to see this big transport aircraft!
I like it! Just watched a segment on "Mighty Planes" about this one.
That is a really cool looking little model. Unique subject you dont see much. Great job with such a small scale. Overall nice job!
That looks really nice, and it's certainly "big enough" in 1/144.
Great looking model, and a large one for 1/144. Nice work.
thanks ! guys
Lovely job, I hope to do one of these in 1/72 soon.
Cool build! It's still not small, even in that scale!
