The Duke Finished Two Aircraft in September

Post by Duke Maddog »

After my return from my vacation, I was able to get a couple aircraft completed. This first one is the HobbyCraft 1/72 scale Canadian Otter:

This second one is a model I purchased at the San Diego Model Expo back in June. It is the Special Hobby 1/72 scale JRS-1 Flying Boat. This one is done in the scheme of the aircraft that went out looking for the Japanese Fleet after the Pearl Harbor attack:

There's one more I completed that you can find in the Automotive section. Thank you for looking in and comments are welcome.

Both are great builds. And indeed nice to see some seldom modelled aircraft.

I especially like the boat, but the Otter is great too. I rode in one once, it was big and went very slow. Like riding in a blimp.

Two nifty subjects!
