The Duke Complete's Bruce's Commission

Post by Duke Maddog »

Today I finally finished up this commission build for Bruce. This is the Dragon 1/72 scale F-6F 5N Hellcat night fighter.

This is one of nine models I finished up this week. The rest are in the armor forums.

Bruce, whenever you are ready to receive this, send me a note and let's make arrangements. Carlos, if it's at all possible, send along your schedule as well, since I'd love to have you there to see this hand-off.

Thanks for looking in, comments are welcome.

Very nice with good weathering.

Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Mark, I’m a desk jockey nowadays. Currently working day shift 0600-1400 Saturday thru Tuesday, with a double shift on Sundays. But at least with these days and hours, I can make it to AMPS & IPMS as long as those meetings don’t run too late.

Thanks Carlos for that information. Perhaps we can set up a Monday handoff with Bruce then.

I'll let you know when I get the landing gear fixed. You'll see the pics posted here. I'm gonna be very delicate and careful so I need a day when I have nothing else going on to interrupt me.
