After all the work done in Maddog Manufacturing, we managed to finish these up and send them to their respective Air Forces..

My US Air Force took delivery of this F-117 Stealth Fighter to replace the one stolen in '96. It is the old Revell/Monogram kit released as part of the Desert Storm four-kit set:

Next my Swedish Air Force took delivery of this Vampire with the understanding that when better decals are acquired they would be added to this after the old ones are stripped. This is the ancient Airfix blister packed kit:

Finally my Japanese Air Force took delivery of this U-125 Maritime Search plane. This is the 1/72 scale Sword kit sent to me by a friend. It is such a pretty plane:

These are three of the six models I finished. Check out the others in the Armor and Ships Forums.

Thanks for looking in, comments are welcome.

Wow I like that U-125. How did the sword kit go together?

Nice trio of jets Mark!

I’m with John and really liking the U-125 from this batch. That’s a very looking aircraft.

Thank you John Kdog! The Sword kit went together very well with extremely minimal seams and gaps. The landing gear could have used more secure attachment points for the landing gear. Once they are dry though they hold this plane very well. I would caution you on the decals though: definitely coat them with a liquid decal film; otherwise they will break apart if you look at them.

Thank you John Eaton!

Yeah, I'm just trying to keep busy!

Thank you Carlos! I agree, that scheme really makes that U-125 shine!

Thank you Clint! In all the Forums I posted these pics on; the U-125 is the everyone's favorite hands down!

I've gotta say that the U-125 does have some sleek lines to it. Great job painting up and building all three of these Mark.
