The Duke Finishes Four More in October

Post by Duke Maddog »

I know it is November, but these were finished on October 31, and so now I've found some time to post them. For simplicity's sake, they are all listed here.

First: a David Brown VIG-1 tractor from the British RAF re-supply set from Airfix:

And just so you can see how small this is in 1/72 scale, here's a shot of it with a No.11 Exacto blade:

Next is a French AMX DCA anti-aircraft system from ACE:

Third is an ancient AMT (formerly ESCI) kit of the M48-A5 Patton tank:

The drooping searchlight has already been fixed.


This final one is the Hobby Boss Russian T-28 tank; also a Shelf Queen started twelve years ago and finally finished now:

That's all for now. Hopefully I'll have at least this many; if not more, completed in November. Stay tuned....

Nice batch of armor builds Mark! I really do like the AMX SPAAG & T-35.... just because those are not common subjects at all.

Thank you Carlos! Yeah, I like the different ones too. For that matter, I've built so many of the "regular" vehicles, I almost have to go to these more uncommon subjects.

Thank you Mike!

That tractor is tiny! :wow: :wow: And I thought a 1/72 biplane is tiny.

Wow, Mark...that is some fine work you have there.

Thank you Steve! Yes, that tractor is quite minuscule. It was still a fast and fun build to do!

Thank you Lyle! You are so very kind.

Excellent work in both quality and quantity. I haven't completed one this year and haven't touched the bench since February. Anything anyone completes is a win in my book. Great job!! :bow:

If you can't fix it with duct tape, you're not using enough duct tape.
