The Duke Finishes Four, Three are Here.

Post by Duke Maddog »

I finally found some time this month to bring a few projects over the finish line. Three are here.
The first one is my Orange Hobby US Army D-7 Dozer:

The next one is a simple model I finally finished after painting the missile. This is my Hobby Boss SA-2 Guideline on the launcher; the fifth of my six I need for my SA-2 battery:

Yes, it is a bit shiny. I need to knock that down a bit, but for all practical purposes, this is done.
The third one is one of my recent acquisitions; this is the Trumpeter Russian Luna M FROG-7 missile launcher. I'd been wanting this in my collection ever since I first saw the ancient kit that was in a larger scale. Now that it is in my scale, I finally have it in the collection:

These pics actually suck, these look far better in person. Man I miss my camera!

Thank you all for looking in, comment are welcome.

Like them all, but the dozer is cool. Most excellent.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Nice trio Mark! All look good, but the D-7 really looks great!

I like them all, too, Mark, but you should put some bare steel shine on that dozer blade.

I built that SA-2 as well. Nice job. I think it was one of the first kits I built when I got back into the hobby.
