These were actually finished a little more than a week ago, but you know how Life messes with you.

Anyway, here are my latest aircraft finished in May. The first one: 1/72 scale Trumpeter Tu-16 Badger going to my Egyptian Air Force:

This one was masked with Silly Putty to achieve that three-tone camouflage pattern.

This next one is also the 1/72 scale Trumpeter Tu-16 Badger, this time it is going to my Iraqi Air Force:

After the base color was added, I free-handed the splotches using my airbrush.

There you have it, my newest models, a brace of Badgers.

All comments welcome, thank you to those who looked in to comment. Stay tuned, more to come.

(Senior moment, maybe?) These two wingy thingies look fantastic! Wicked camo on that second one! Great work, Duke!

Yeah, I had fun with these actually. The second plane, the Iraqi one, I freehanded the spots with my airbrush.
