Description
The Antonov AN-225 Mriya (Mriya meaning Dream), is a strategic airlift
cargo aircraft designed by the Antonov Design Bureau in the 1980s. It
was designed to airlift the Energia rocket's boosters and the Buran
space shuttle for the Soviet space program. The first AN-225 was
completed in 1988 and a second AN-225 has been partially completed. The
completed AN-225 is in commercial operation with Antonov Airlines
carrying oversized payloads. The An-225's original mission and
objectives are almost identical to that of the United States' Shuttle
Carrier Aircraft.
This handcrafted model is painted in the same paint scheme as
the original and is painstakingly built from Philippine mahogany by our
skilled craftsmen. Perfect as a gift for any aviation enthusiast and
history buff!
