After some time, and quite a lot of 'clonking' around on one model, I managed to finish these two aircraft in May.

This first one is the Eduard Profi-pak 1/72 scale Israeli S-199 fighter. I did this one in the markings of the only S-199 to ever shoot down another aircraft. This one is credited with shooting down two Egyptian C-47 makeshift bombers:

This next one is the 'clonker'. Here is my Trumpeter 1/72 scale Tu-95 Bear bomber finally completed. Painted with Model Master and Humbrols. I apologize for the backgrounds, I did some clone brush to hide the incredible amount of clutter in the original pics. This thing is too big for my background:

That's all for now, stay tuned for more later.

Nice work! Those are two interesting subjects.... I always found it ironic that the Israelis used what was an essentially German design to help them win their independence. I also like the NMF work and varying panels on the Bear. Looking forward to the next completions from your hangar!

Thank you Gil! I too always wondered about that with the S-199; I guess they were just desperate to get their hands on anything that would allow them to fight back. Thank you also for the compliments on the Bear; that was a bit of an experiment to see if I could actually pull that off.  I think I partially succeeded.

 

Thank you Jean-Marc!
