OBP Planes/Murph's Models in 1/72

[papermate]

No.59 coming up is the last Twin Otter, USAF version, by Murph. Really need a break after so many otters, a total of 9 of them.

Yeah, I'm done with Otters for a while. I think I'll take a break from planes and focus on more...aquatic..subjects for a while.

Noooooooo! You haven't finished the F-111 yet!

Fine job! Is that an actual interior?

Someday, I'll have to learn to do my own repaints. Would love one in UAE service; all one color and the markings are limited to a small flag and numbers on the tail:

The engineering's done. Just gotta pick a paint scheme.

Paint scheme depends on which model is finished first. Most are of a
SEA scheme. The later -F and -G and Australian were overall boring gray.

Most of the images I found of this version had the rear cargo door removed for those crazy people that like to jump out of perfectly good planes while in flight.
So I photoshopped an image of the interior onto the side. It looks pretty good from a few thousand miles away.

No.60 is Cessna LC-126 Army version, that I have put aside for ages. Gotta get this done at this scale, and here it is.

Very nice build. That reminds me, I forgot about this neat bird.

Thanks, John. This model has skipped my mind for a very long time after I started it, as with many others that I have put away after cutting out the first template. Bad habit!
