Work begins on the Pedro

It probably is just a codename to do with the Spanish Civil War.

If you look at BF-109 code names you'll see certain patterns along that line.

109 E (Emil)
109 G (Gustaf)

The FW-190D was known as "Dora"

So, I can't imagine "Pedro" is anything outside that same naming strategy, just a Spanish name for the sake of the theatre of operations.

I have no idea why it's called a Pedro but the one I'm doing is from the Spanish Civil War. I'll do some research on that point.

Swanny, it's beyond me how you're able to do so much really good quality work so fast. I wish I could model that fast and well at the same time.

On the other hand, I do an awful lot of fine detail work at, erm, work. I'm under enough constant deadline pressure there that I might just as well take my time at home.

It's not so much a hobby as it is a compulsion I suppose.

Anyway, really truly excellent job you do sir! I'm envious.

Why is it called a pedro? Does it have to do with the Spanish civil war?

Lookin good so far, Swanny. Keep em photos comin.

Please indulge me, why is it called a "Pedro"?
