The Duke's Final Aircraft for 2018

[Duke Maddog]

As promised, here's "Old Burnt Face" finally off the Shelf of Doom. After three years, I just did what I had to do to finish this up.

This is the ancient Monogram 1/72 scale Boeing 737 done up in United Airlines livery:

You can see the wrinkled decals somewhat in the second pic. This is an excellent five-foot model!

Thanks all for looking in, comments are welcome.

I like it!

You have to give it a really weathered desert-boneyard finish to disguise any of those decal shortcomings! Lots of dirt and chips.

Good on ya for getting it off the shelf of doom! Is it going on a display shelf or hanging up?

Way to go Mark.
Another one off the shelf of doom.
Looking great.

Thanks Captain Cook! Eventually this will join the holding pattern on my ceiling. Although, I might consider using this as a practice model for just the type of boneyard weathering you're talking about.... :hmmm

Thanks Frank! It does look good in the pics. And yes, I'm glad I got it off the shelf of doom.
