The Duke's Newest Helicopters and Gliders

Post by Duke Maddog »

These four I just got done with two days ago; two helicopters and two gliders from WWII D-Day invasion.

First is the USAAF Waco glider by Italeri:

Next is the British Horsa Glider by Italeri:

Next are the two helicopters, starting with this Italian Chinook by Revell:

Finally the last one is the Israeli CH-53 by Italeri:

And that's all for now. We;ll see what next month brings. Meanwhile, thanks for looking in, comments are welcome!

Very nice work Mark! The method of transport has changed in those, but the basic concept of delivering troops and equipment from the sky are shown here. :shoutout: :shoutout: :shoutout:

Thank you Tom!

Thank you Mike!

Thank you Carlos! Yeah, it's an interesting perception. With these completed, I now have gliders from the US, Britain, Germany and Russia.

I love those choppers, the Chinook being my favorite!

Those look really sharp! Nice.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
