The Duke Finishes Four Vehicles in October

[dukemaddog]

Thanks to a bit of free time, I managed to get these done before the end of October.


First is a 1/72 scale ICM "Snap Together" German G-4 Staff Car:





What a veritable PITA that kit was! It was neither snap together nor easy! 'Nuff said.


Next is a 1/72 scale Russian GAZ AAA cargo truck from an unknown company. It comes with two in the kit, so maybe the second one might go together better. For now, you can see what an ill-fitting short-run, Eastern European company kit this is:











The third model is this IBG 1/72 scale Chevy Holmes Wrecker:











And the final one I finished this month is this Academy 1/752 scale French Le Clerc T.5 tank:












That's all for this month. Stay tuned, there's more coming down the pike. Until then, thanks for looking in, comments are welcome.

I'm not much into military, but they are really cool!!

Nice batch of builds Mark! Interesting that the LeClerc has the markings for the WWII French 2nd Armored Division.

Once again a great variety of subjects Mark. I like the camo on the Leclerc tank.

[dukemaddog]

Thank you Wolf! I appreciate your compliments!

Thank you Carlos! I thought so too; those were the best markings offered; What better tie-in to the past. I didn't want any KFOR on my tank....

Thank you Handi! I like it too.

That Chevy and the Le Clerc look fabulous Mark. The second one looks like it put up a fight the whole way but hey.....at least you got it all put together. Sounds like a nightmare of a kit.
I've been seeing these IBG kits pop up more often now but maybe its because I bought an IBG Fw190 D-9 a few months back. Just looking at the IBG kit in the box, it looks like a good kit.

You are knocking them out, Mark!

Nice work Mark! The Le Clerc is very well done. I'm not big into Armor but I do appreciate a well done build. 

Stay safe.

Fantastic!! Love the interesting variety of subjects as always!! Great work finishing these up!! A productive end to the month!!

Yeah that's some nice work! Esp the trucks, they have to be tiny in that scale!

[dukemaddog]

Thank you Joe! I'm happy with the Chevy and Le Clerc. That truck did indeed put up a fight. I have the second one still to build, so maybe it'll go better now that I know how it will fight me. IBG does have some great kits out there. On the Braille Scale forums though, they tend to pan them due to "inaccuracies" that I can't see all the time; but I just build them anyway.

Thank you John! I'm trying to! I gotta make room in my Hobby Room so I can actually walk in it!

Thank you Jim! I'm the same way with Gundams myself; I don't quite get them but I sure do love looking at well built models!

Thank you Kyle! It was a very productive month for me.

Thank you Gamera! Yes, they are tiny in this scale, averaging about 2 inches +/-.
