Hey everyone! I finally did get a few models done. Three aircraft here and six more armor models as well.

 

Here are my latest:

 

This first one is a 1/72 scale Matchbox model I got from a friend. He had started it and then decided he didn't want to finish it, so I took over. Here it is all completed:

Eventually, I'll probably add a few underwing stores to this little kit.

 

Moving along, here is my 1/72 scale Testor's YF-12A Interceptor all completed. I finally got it done despite the decals that shattered even with three coats of liquid decal film over them!

And finally, I have completed the last of my rare and difficult-to-find 1/72 scale civilian aircraft. This is the Aurora 1/72 scale Cherokee Arrow finally completed:

Just for kicks, here is a shot of all six of my 1/72 scale civilian light aircraft:

That's all I have for now; at least in aircraft. Feel free to go to the Armor Forum to check out my latest armor I finished.

 

Meanwhile, thanks all for looking and comments are welcome!

Thanks Von! Yeah, I finaly did win that fight with the blackbird. It's the YF-12A Interceptor. I've always wanted that bird in my collection; glad it's finally done! Now to complete a few more....

Way to go Duke. You are a machine!!! I have been fiddling with painting an Avenger canopy for a week.

Thanks guys for the compliments! Yeah Mark, it's a BLACKBIRD! And it's done, which thrills me to no end since the decals gave me so much hassle!

 

Clare, I know your canopy will come out superb!

 

Thanks for the great comments guys!

Nice work Duke! That A-12 is fantastic looking! And, I actually saw 2 Hunters fly over today twice; as the Navy is conducting war games out of NAS Jax. Congrats, and thanks for sharing!
