Anigrand have released the Boeing VC-25A The Flying White House in 1/72 scale. Spanning nearly 83 cm [32.6”] and a fuselage length of almost 98 cm [38.5”], not one for the faint hearted with minimal space to display model aircraft.

The mission of the VC-25A “Air Force One”, is to provide air transport for the president of the United States. Presidential air transport began in 1944 when the C-54 “Sacred Cow" was put into service for President Franklin D. Roosevelt. While the call sign "Air Force One" was first used in the 50s, President Kennedy's VC-137 was the first aircraft to be popularly known as "Air Force One". The two VC-25A currently in U.S. service is highly a modified version of 747-200B. The first VC-25A, tail number 28000, flew as "Air Force One" in 1990, when it transported President George Bush. A second VC-25A, tail number 29000, transported Presidents Bill Clinton. The VC-25A can also be operated as military command center in the event of an incident such as a nuclear attack. Operational modifications include aerial refueling capability and anti-aircraft missile countermeasures. The electronics on board are connected with approximately 238 miles of wiring, twice that of a regular 747. All wiring is covered with heavy shielding for protection from an electromagnetic pulse in the event of a nuclear attack. The aircraft also has electronic countermeasures (ECMs) to jam enemy radar, flares to avoid heat-seeking missiles, and chaff to avoid radar-guided missiles.
