Mark Deliduka Posted May 29, 2024 Report Posted May 29, 2024 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.
ghodges Posted May 29, 2024 Report Posted May 29, 2024 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! Gil
Mark Deliduka Posted June 13, 2024 Author Report Posted June 13, 2024 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!
