The Duke's Condor

Post by Duke Maddog »

It took me awhile, but I finally got some finished pics of my 1/72 scale Modelsvit An-124 "Ruslan" aka NATO code name: Condor.


I took these on the concrete sidewalk beneath my balcony stairs. I also placed a model of a 1/72 scale Russian T-80 tank next to it for size reference. It was the easiest thing I could pull from my storage tub holding my Russian vehicles.


For your perusal gentlemen....

It isn't the best shape it could be in, but it is done. I will possibly work on improving things a bit more later on and might shoot some updated pics then. For now, this bird is done and will be finding a spot on my ceiling soon.


Thanks all for looking in, comments are welcome.

That is one big bird. How is the size compared to the Antonov you finished recently?

Mark…that Condor is flipping awesome!!!! :shoutout: :shoutout: :shoutout:

That big bird fought you, but you mastered the beast! Bravo my friend!!!! :bow: :bow: :bow:

The T-80 is a great scale reference item. Although I think some BMDs or ASU-85s might be more subject appropriate.

Superb job my friend! You rock in 1/72… truly the Duke!
