These were actually finished a little more than a week ago, but you know how Life messes with you. Anyway, here are my latest aircraft finished in May. The first one: 1/72 scale Trumpeter Tu-16 Badger going to my Egyptian Air Force:    This one was masked with Silly Putty to achieve that three-tone camouflage pattern. This next one is also the 1/72 scale Trumpeter Tu-16 Badger, this time it is going to my Iraqi Air Force:    After the base color was added, I free-handed the splotches using my airbrush. There you have it, my newest models, a brace of Badgers. All comments welcome, thank you to those who looked in to comment. Stay tuned, more to come. |

Very nicely done Mark! The Iraqi Badger reminds me of the camo schemes used on Bf109E’s in North Africa… but I really love that Egyptian camo scheme. It is quite pleasing to the eye 👍🏼

Thank you gentlemen! Part of the reason I wanted to do both of these is because of the camouflage on them. It's not often you can camouflage such large aircraft with such unique colors like this. The other reason; I wanted more large bombers for my air forces...
Carlos I was thinking the same thing when I was painting that Iraqi Badger.
BSC, Silly Putty, I know right?
Stay tuned, I have more to come.
