You can see here I gave her a full weapons loadout:
Final overhead shot:
That's my first of four very large subjects completed. Hopefully the others won't be too far behind.
Thanks for looking in, comments are welcome.

1/72 scale Be-6 Madge from the Duke
Finally, after all this time, I can show this very large model completed. This is the Russian Be-6 Madge seaplane in 1/72 scale by Trumpeter:

A beauty, excellent paintwork, 
The exhaust marks on the engines look really nice!
Looking forward to next biggies + perhaps a group photo of the them all when finalized? If possible?

Re: 1/72 scale Be-6 Madge from the Duke
Thanks Kari! I wasn't sure if I went too far,e specially since I never saw top photos of this plane. I just figured that most Russian engines of the time ran dirty and applied soot accordingly.
As for a group pic when they're all done, I don't think so. I don't have the space to do it! The only possibility would be if I can transport all of them to St. Crispin's Hobby Day without breaking a whole mess of parts in transit. It'll be awhile though; the rest of them are a long way away from being done.

A nice clean build. Way to go Duke!

Re: 1/72 scale Be-6 Madge from the Duke
Thanks Blacksheep! For the first time in awhile, something turned out at least as good as I'd hoped it would. There's still a few issues, but overall it is right where I wanted it to be.

BsYamato is going to be so jealous. He has been wanting this kit for ages. And now you pull off this great build.

Re: 1/72 scale Be-6 Madge from the Duke
Thanks Borg! I wonder why he hasn't seen this yet? He must be really busy working on his models.
All I did was build this OOB. I know he'll line the interior with ribbing and do all kinds of extra things to his that didn't happen to mine. That will be a treat to see!

Re: 1/72 scale Be-6 Madge from the Duke
Thanks Joe, I am honored by your reply. I don't consider myself a Master. When I can take a "Best of" award in aircraft, then I know I'll be worthy of that title. Until then, I'm gonna keep having a blast building these model up!
Also, I wouldn't sell yourself short. This had enough large pieces that you could easily do this!
