Mark Deliduka Posted January 14, 2020 Report Posted January 14, 2020 Happy New Year everyone. It is a good year for me so far. This is one of the 13 models that I finished yesterday. It is a 1/72 scale Russian Troop Carrying Glider from WWII. It is a short run kit from Eastern Europe and was a bit tough to get together and paint. This bird fought me all the way to the finish line: There it is, a model of something I never knew ever existed. I'll have to do more research on this to see how it was used. Meanwhile, enjoy! Afterward, feel free to check out my latest vehicles to see the rest of what I finished. Thanks for looking in, comments are welcome. 1
WildBill50 Posted January 16, 2020 Report Posted January 16, 2020 Cool Bird you have there Duke. It really has a bird like quality to it, I think. You wrangled it into a fine looking representation of the real thing. Bill
Mark Deliduka Posted January 16, 2020 Author Report Posted January 16, 2020 Thank you Bill. It is an interesting bird that I never knew the Soviets had. I appreciate the compliments given how short run this model is.
ghodges Posted January 17, 2020 Report Posted January 17, 2020 That's a completely new one to me Duke! Never knew the Russians even had gliders for troops. If it fought you, I can't tell from the result. Way to persevere and put a very unique subject on your shelf. Thanks for sharing! GIL
Bradley25mm Posted January 19, 2020 Report Posted January 19, 2020 Keep knocking em out Duke. Nice Build. Regards Christopher
Mark Deliduka Posted January 19, 2020 Author Report Posted January 19, 2020 Thanks Gil! I'm thrilled with your reply; I was sure it was obvious how difficult this was. Now when I finish my Gotha, Waco and Horsa gliders I'll have one from all the major combatants in WWII Thanks Chris! Doing my best!
Roktman Posted January 22, 2020 Report Posted January 22, 2020 As soon as I read "short run" I was wondering how difficult it was. LOL 😉 You did a VERY nice job with it! Some, with a lot of work turn into nice models as you've shown.
Mark Deliduka Posted January 22, 2020 Author Report Posted January 22, 2020 Thanks Kevin! It was a challenge indeed!
mustang1989 Posted February 3, 2020 Report Posted February 3, 2020 Beautiful build Mark!! Despite your troubles it looks like you came out top for the win.
Mark Deliduka Posted February 4, 2020 Author Report Posted February 4, 2020 Thanks Joe! I'm glad to have this in the collection.
aAzZ09 Posted February 21, 2020 Report Posted February 21, 2020 Way to go, Duke. Keep up the good work! Mark
Mark Deliduka Posted February 22, 2020 Author Report Posted February 22, 2020 Thanks Mark! Still trying to slog through my latest projects whenever I have the time...
