This is the Amodel brand AN602 "Tsar Bomba" kit in 1:72 scale. The model has been reviewed by others in the past, but wanted to share as I finally finished mine.
Some actual photos and history from the web here...

There are some issues with the Amodel kit as the scale seems oversize (at least too long). Seen here with the Blackdog brand “Little Boy” bomb seems odd.
The build is challenging due to poor part fit as well. For example, to get the support structure walls to be parallel per the instruction sheet I had to add plugs here to get the correct width for the mid supports.

Overall this is a fun addition to the shelf as it represents a reminder of the biggest man made explosion to date. Thanks for looking and happy modeling!
