Way back in 2007, I wanted to complete a full collection of civilian aircraft available in 1/72 scale. Back then, I had only one more aircraft to complete; the Cessna Skymaster, in order to achieve that goal. Then, three aircraft were stolen from me; setting me back a couple years.
Fast Forward to 2010, and I have finally completed that goal. Here are the pics of my latest civilian aircraft finished.
This is the Aurora Piper Cherokee in 1/72 scale.
I thought I’d post them on the stands for fun.
Here’s the Piper Aztec all built now. Except for one wheel that came off soon after installation. I’m calling it done anyway, because God only knows when I’ll be able to find/replace that wheel!
The last plane I needed to complete was the Cessna Skymaster. Here she is in all her ‘glory’! What a pain this one was to build!
Yeah, her canopy is a bit ‘frosted’, I’ll add another coat of Future to fix that. I’d had to clean something off and it clouded it. The Future will fix that straight away.
And for fun, here is the whole collection of 1/72 scale civilian aircraft all in one big shot:
Well, that’s all my latest aircraft finished. I also completed an armored car as well. I’ve got it in the Armor Forum so feel free to go by and check it out. Meanwhile, thanks for looking and comments are welcome.
Awesome. You must have filled up every available inch of shelf space inyour house. Now for a chanllenge, how about Every 1/48 Military aircraft kit there is ??? lol
Congrats on the accomplishment Mark…!! I really like how they turned out especially the Skymaster… Even though I am not really into civi birds, I have always liked the Skymaster…
Thanks for the great comments guys! Hammer, I don’t know who cleared them in, but whoever it was ought a be shot!
Yeah! I know how that is! Everything I finish is missing something!
Actually, yes I have; at least in my hobby room. Wife won’t let them out of there. As for your challenge, I respectfully decline. I’m having too much fun building 1/72 scale. Besides, it keeps my collection consistent! LOL!
Yeah, then they cry about looking over their shoulder and seeing a pair of F-16s sitting off their 7 & 5 o’clocks at 50 meters, lose control of their lower sphincters, and file a complaint with the FAA and the Air Force about the “reckless and dangerous” behaviors of Air Force fighter pilots and threaten to sue everyone from the SECDEF on down…
