The Duke's Third Aircraft in April

Post by Duke Maddog »

After final information came in from my nephew, I had enough information to see what markings I could use on my last MQ-9 Reaper. Once decals were applied, I now have a replica of one of the MQ-9 Reaper drones he flies the most:

I apologize for the quality of some of these pics. My camera seemed to be unable to focus on this little model.

Thanks for looking in, comments are welcome.

Pretty neat Mark - and a great relation to the subject. I've got a 1/48 in the stash.
Thanks,
John

Nice!

Very nice work Mark! What size manned aircraft would you say has around the same wingspan as this drone?

Very nice Stuart!

To answer you question Stik, it's as big as a Viper.
