After fighting this model for more than a year; I have come to the finish line. I present to all of you a very rare model of the Ancient Aurora Jet Commando in 1/72 scale. With this model I have completed the last of the Aurora 1/72 scale civilian aircraft offerings and now have a full set of civilian aircraft in 1/72 scale.
I had to scrounge around and cobble together a fictitious marking scheme in order to finish this as the kit decals were beyond useless. After several days of finishing this up, here is the Aurora Jet Commando in 1/72 scale built strictly OOB:
That's all I have for now. Thanks for looking in, comments are welcome.

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.
Thanks Stuart! It was tough as those long red lines kept wanting to break. I'm just so glad to have this finally finished!

Thanks Lyle! I was hoping to make it a bit more colorful, but my stash of decals didn't allow for that. I am pleased with how this finally turned out. Thanks again for the great reply.

Thanks again Lyle. I am becoming more pleased with this scheme. It's growing on me.
Now I have to get a full on shot of all my civilian aircraft all together in one pic.

Thanks! I'm not real sure to be honest. I just built this bird up; I didn't really bother to research it. Now you have me curious.

Looks pretty damned good Mark. I like your fictitious scheme. Just the right amount of striping and colors.
