The Duke's Final Aircraft for 2017

[Dukemaddog]

Here at the end of 2017, I managed to finish one final aircraft. It is very poorly done, but it is done. I built it out of the box...literally, only using what was in it. This is why the decals look so bad and the windows have dimples. Personally, I like this little bird, despite the issues.

Here is the ancient Airfix USAF Jetstream in 1/72 scale:







Someday I might get another one of these and do it up right with new windows and far better decals.


I know it is pretty crappy, but comments are still welcome. This was built as a practice for doing a white over bare metal finish on an aircraft.

Thanks for looking in, and once again; comments are welcome.

That’s the kind of kit you practice finishing techniques on. Not necessarily top shelf but something you can practice on.
It looks to me as though you have achieved your objective.
Well done

As rough as it was Mark it turned out to be a little gem my friend!!! I would be glad to have it displayed on my shelf any day brother!!!

Thanks guys! I truly appreciate it very much.

Thug, you are right, it was great practice which I am hoping will help improve my models in the new year.

Joe, I agree, it is a great little gem.

The white over BMF turned out just fine, still a nice little bird.

Sorry I missed this one Duke. Great job on the aircraft!

Now there's a kit you don't see everyday, Mark. Well done, sir.

Thanks for the great compliments guys! I really do like this little bird.
