The Duke Finishes Two Aircraft in May

[Mark Deliduka]

These were actually finished a little more than a week ago, but you know how Life messes with you.

Anyway, here are my latest aircraft finished in May. The first one: 1/72 scale Trumpeter Tu-16 Badger going to my Egyptian Air Force:

This one was masked with Silly Putty to achieve that three-tone camouflage pattern.

This next one is also the 1/72 scale Trumpeter Tu-16 Badger, this time it is going to my Iraqi Air Force:

After the base color was added, I free-handed the splotches using my airbrush.

 

There you have it, my newest models, a brace of Badgers.

All comments welcome, thank you to those who looked in to comment. Stay tuned, more to come.

Badgers? You don't have to show us no Badgers! We don't need to see no stinkin' Badgers!  😁

Sorry.... it was too easy to pass up!

Very nice pair duke! I especially like the Egyptian one as it reaffirms that I might have gotten my MiG-21 camo patterns mostly right. Those are impressive in both size and scope of build. Congrats

Thank you Gil! I knew it was a matter of time before someone said that! LOL! I can always count on you! I'm glad I was able to help you with the Egyptian one. And yes, they certainly were a challenge to maneuver around the Hobby Room and spraybooth.

 

Thank you Bob! I do look forward to seeing yours built. That way I can see what these are supposed to look like! LOL!

Thank you Jean-Marc! Not really, as I have a Super G Constellation and a Tu-95 Bear still under construction.
