New! Herpa 515726 Antonov Airlines AN-225 "Mriya" 1:500 scale diecast model

Description: New! Herpa 515726 Antonov Airlines AN-225 "Mriya" 1:500 scale diecast model Please note: this is a 1/500 scale model! The An-225 was originally developed during the 1980s as an enlarged derivative of the Antonov An-124 airlifter for the express purpose of transporting Buran-class orbiters. On 21 December 1988, the An-225 performed its maiden flight; only one aircraft was ever completed, although a second airframe with a slightly different configuration was partially built. After a brief period of use supporting the Soviet space program, the aircraft was mothballed during the early 1990s. Towards the turn of the century, it was decided to refurbish the An-225 and reintroduce it for commercial operations, carrying oversized payloads for the operator Antonov Airlines. In August 2009, the world's largest aircraft, nicknamed "Mriya" (= dream), received a new livery based on the Ukrainian national colors. With a maximum takeoff weight of 640 tonnes (705 short tons), the An-225 held several records, including heaviest aircraft ever built and largest wingspan of any aircraft in operational service. The only completed An-225 was destroyed in the Battle of Antonov Airport during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.
