The Duke Finishes Two More Aircraft in May

Post by Duke Maddog »

After some time, and quite a lot of 'clonking' around on one model, I managed to finish these two aircraft in May.

This first one is the Eduard Profi-pak 1/72 scale Israeli S-199 fighter. I did this one in the markings of the only S-199 to ever shoot down another aircraft. This one is credited with shooting down two Egyptian C-47 makeshift bombers:

This next one is the 'clonker'. Here is my Trumpeter 1/72 scale Tu-95 Bear bomber finally completed. Painted with Model Master and Humbrols. I apologize for the backgrounds, I did some clone brush to hide the incredible amount of clutter in the original pics. This thing is too big for my background:

That's all for now, stay tuned for more later.

Agreed! Well done.

Thank you Carlos! Yes I did! Finally too, I'm so thrilled to have that off the workbench!

Thank you Blacksheep! It is quite large indeed!

Thank you Mike! While it is not a contest contender; I am thrilled to have it finished! I've wanted one of those in my collection since the 70's.

Thank you Lyle!

Thank you Johnny! Yes I have! I'm still trying to find some open spaces on my ceiling where joists are so I can hang these bad boys!
