Mark Deliduka Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Hey all, I tried my best to make this one look good, but it is a Roden aircraft after all. This is my Roden 1/72 scale Antonov An-12 Cub that I was finally able to finish when Squadron sent me my canopy. Check it out: I took these pics at Orangecon. It was the only place I had space to place this for finished pics! Thanks for looking in, comments are welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philp Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Looks good Mark. Always liked this bird but the kit is, you said it, it is Roden. I have had little luck with their armor. But you made it look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghodges Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 I don't see what the big problem is......Looks perfectly fine to me. Perhaps you're differentiating between a "contest" model and a "shelf sitter"? Congrats on battling the beast! Anyone can build Tamigawavellogram kits! :D GIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeRivers Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 New to the IPMS and I found your post reading through the messages. I tackled the Cub back in 2011. I feel your pain on that beast. Mine sits next to a Canadian CC-130 in UN markings. See pix attached. Joe R 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghodges Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 Nice to know I'm not the only plastic masochist here! 😛 Nice work, both of you! GIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradley25mm Posted November 13, 2018 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 Very nice Mark. I’ve built ONE Roden kit. OV-1B Mohawk. Might be my last. Awesome builds Joe. Love the paint scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Deliduka Posted November 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 Wow Joe, that is one remarkable Cub! I made mine in military dress since I knew I was going to have a hard enough time getting it built, much less painted that well. I commend you on sch an incredible aircraft. And thanks to everyone else who commented. For some reason I hadn't had this thread set to notify me of responses. That's been remedied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeRivers Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 Thank you for the positive responses! This Roden An-12 kit was a "Filling Nightmare! Nothing fit, the for and aft fuselage sections were a 1/16" off from each other! The engine nacelles fit was from another planet. This was one of those kits I built more to show it who was boss then anything. Oh, and the decals, there weren't enough stripes for the whole fuselage on both sides, . I am also a model railroader, so i found some Santa Fe blue locomotive stripes that matched and that saved the day. But, I must agree, that the finished Cub was a very nice looking transport aircraft and it is a real attention getter because of it uniqueness. Joe.
