Revell of Germany 1/72 Airbus A400 M Transporter
The Airbus A400M represents the next generation of long-range military transport aircraft. Development began in 1982, when the Future International Military Airlifter group was assigned to produce a replacement for the Transall C-160 and C-130 Hercules. The A400M's first flight occurred on December 11, 2009, in Seville, Spain. Eight countries - including the U.K. and Germany - have ordered a total of 174 A400Ms. Deliveries are expected to occur by early 2013.
