Revell 1/72 Airbus A400M Transport

The Airbus A400M is a newly developed military transport from Airbus Military that has a much higher payload and range than previous models. It will primarily replace the German-French Transall and should also win new customers and extend its sphere of operations. The first flight took place on December 11,2009. Since then it has been in flight testing.

It is planned to go into service at the beginning of 2012. The Airbus A400 M should meet the more exacting requirements for military air transport performance as it can offer longer range with greater loading capacity and more flexible capabilities. The maximum load is 37 tons; the range with average load is 6575 km. Carrying capacity: 116 soldiers or 2 Tiger or Apache combat helicopters or 3 M113 armoured transport vehicles. It is planned to buy a total of 180.
