Howdy Miss Charlotte,

Well, I know the real aircraft weighs 380,000 lbs. empty, and a 1:72 scale model of this plane will be huge....get Nigel to put in more ceiling joists lol.

Have a good day,

Greg

Just imagine this aircraft fully loaded with fuel and cargo topping out at about 769,000 lb. (3/4 of a million pounds) now ask yourself how something that heavy flies.
