SPA Modeler

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.

Great stuff Duke - that's a great looking bird - you did well with the decals.

Thanks Stuart! It was tough as those long red lines kept wanting to break. I'm just so glad to have this finally finished!

That is too cool. A very interesting looking jet. Good job on the decals, too.

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.

For biz jets of that period, you nailed it.

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.

Oh that is interesting. Is that the predecessor of the IAI Westwind?

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.
