My 1/72 scale aircraft

[Dean62]

Quick update…
I added clear coat and finished the detail on the exhaust and canopy frame.

Looking forward to finishing this one soon. Hopefully tomorrow.

On another note, I decided to add another category to my 1/72 collection…civilian aircraft.
First up is one of my favorites, a Cessna 172…


Next is a Cirrus SR22T…


I am excited to add these, they are diecast models as I couldn’t find a plastic kit for either one. However they are nice examples and will fit in well.

So now I have 4 categories in my 1/72 aircraft collection:

WW1 / biplanes
WW2 / prop planes
Jets
Civilian aircraft

See ya next time…

There was a model of a cessna 170 I believe. But that was a long time ago.
They would be quite small at 1/72.

They are about the same size as WW1 aircraft.

Hi Dean,

Your Yak looks great. Did you spray the clear coat.

If you are thinking about Cessna's, how about a 337 Skymaster. My brother-in-law had one. It was a great flyer.

No sir…I brush all my paint on these days. I use Vallejo matte varnish to clear coat on military aircraft with camouflage paint. I thin it out before I brush it on.
The Cessna T337 Skymaster looks like an interesting aircraft. I will keep my eye out for one. I also am considering a leer jet. And a Piper Cub is a given.
