The Duke Completes One Aircraft in July
Here is my latest aircraft completed this month. This is the ancient Matchbox kit of the Swedish SAAB J-29 in 1/72 scale. I used the kit's original decals to complete it.

Nice work, Mark. I've always looked at the Tunan as a fat little kid wanting to be a jet airplane. LOL!

Re: The Duke Completes One Aircraft in July
Thank you Johnny! I actually never liked the little thing because of it's "stoutness", I almost didn't build it because I thought it was such an ugly little plane. It has been growing on me though since I finished it.
Thank you Blacksheep! That is a very apropos description! I love it!

Cute. 1/72 aircraft are just their own thing.
