The Duke's Latest Aircraft Completed.

[Duke Maddog]

Finally, after far too long, I was able to get some aircraft finished!

Here they are in no particular order. First off is Monogram's 1/72 scale F-8 Bearcat for the Monogram Mafia Group Build on another Forum:

This was finished with Tamiya Navy Blue in a spray can and finished with the kit decals.

Another Monogram Mafia build; this one is the Monogram 1/72 scale F4-B4 biplane built OOB and finished with Model Master paints:

And finally, my first ever Eduard kit: The L-39 done up in Iraqi AF markings:

It was an interesting build to say the least, I'm still trying to determine whether it was a fun experience or not. I am very pleased with the final model though.

That's all I have for now. I also completed a few armor models; feel free to check them out on the Armored Fury Forums. Meanwhile, comments are welcome here, thanks for looking in.

That F4 Biplane sure brings out some great memories Well done Mark

 

[Duke Maddog]

Thanks for the compliments guys! These were a lot of fun! Now to get more done!

Nice ones Mark!

Those yellow wings sure make striking aircraft!

 

[Duke Maddog]

Thanks Sharkman! I like them too. They are a bit tough to do, given the difficulties of painting a good coat of yellow, but I am pleased with how this little bird turned out.

Now to finish some of my larger planes. I really do need the room...

I really love those old Monogram 1/72 biplanes... they were a joy.

Great work, BTW... the Bearcat is a honey

 

[Duke Maddog]

Thanks Barney! I am thrilled with both of these. I especially enjoyed building the little biplane; it was quite surprising to me how well that went together and how fun it was to build. One thing that made it so pleasant was that the instructions even suggested doing certain things like applying the decals before adding the upper wing and such which made everything much better.

Thanks again for the reply!
