The Duke's First Completed Model of 2019

Well, it's the second day of a new year and yesterday I actually finished a Shelf Queen of four years. This beastie fought me like the Boeing 737 did but I am more thrilled with the finish of this model that the other.
I present to you my first model of 2019, the Heller 1/72 scale C-118 transport plane:
It feels good to start the year with this thing out of what's left of my hair. Unlike the Boeing, I think I'll be taking this to contests. It most likely won't place, but it's gonna look great on the tables!
Thanks all for looking in, comments are welcome!

Congrats on the finish Mark. I've got a couple of shelf queens I need to pull down and finish so thank you for the inspiration pal.

I love this one. Non-combat military aircraft are far less modelled but that makes this model all the more interesting.
