The Duke Finishes Two More Aircraft in April.

[Duke Maddog]

After all that work in the hobby room and at St. Crispin's Hobby Days, I am finally able to call a few more done. These are two of the five models I just completed, the other three are in the Armor Forums.


My first finished model is this Aoshima 1/72 scale Japanese OH-1 "Ninja" scout helicopter. This is an indigenous design made in Japan:












My next finished model is the Atlantic re-pop of the ancient AH-56 Cheyenne in 1/72 scale. I built her strictly out of the box:











The description of this helicopter in the history blurb on the instruction sheet says this was designed to have a 30mm cannon in the turret beneath the cockpit. She was also capable of loading all the rockets, guns and missiles that the Apache could load, as well as carry Sidewinders. Someday I hope to make one of these with all those to see what this would have looked like in service.


Until then, thanks for looking in, comments are welcome.

Nice pair of choppers Mark! The OH-1 hooks good, but the Cheyenne has always been a personal favorite of mine. I’d love to see you build another and arm it as it should be.

Good looking stuff

Thank you Mike!

Thank you John! You're in luck, I have two more under construction and another two about to start.

Thank you Carlos! Of course, mine would only be speculation, but it would be a fun exercise. If I can find another at a good price at the same time I have money to buy it, I will.

Thank you Tony!

Great stuff Mark

Thank you Clint! I got more coming down the line.

Thank you Lyle! I've just been trying to find time to build models; you know how it is with lack of time!

Thank you Stuart!
