Thanks Azorean to consider the worth of my work. I really appreciate it.

Azorean I rather like the look of that water. Though to me it looks more like its raining into the sea rather than choppy waters, but a nice attempt. So would i be right in assuming you will have the SUE flying low over the water.

I'm looking forward to the New Year as well....this one was terrible as I lost my father-in-law on February 14th.

First, Bish please put up one of these on the finished page. I did get the rest done but have not had a moment to take her outside and stage a shot.

I will be tearing into that C-130 next. RAF this time around.

This has been a great GB. I am especially glad that we made friends with each other across the oceans, from all sides. I've known Jeremias for a bit, and all of the rest of you blokes have been a joy.

Merry Christmas, Feliz Navidad, Feliz Natal and let's all pray for peace in the New Year.

Great Puca, Bondoman.

You catch the right color. I enjoy.

My build is going slowly

The cirgury I was doing on the airfix figure did not go well. I remenber I had a Hasegawa one much better.

Unfortunately the Academy kit does not bring the central tank :(

I tried to use a MK bomb 1:48 and after a few cuts I think I reach the real aspect.

Merry Xmas to all!   :lol:

Thank you all for the compliments. The Pucara is a badger of a kit, but a nice looking little bird.

The Airfix 1/72 C-130 kit John traded to me is an E, and the RAF flew H's so I will build another aircraft of the FAA, and coincidently the other aircraft that "Sharkey" Ward shot down, C-130 TC-63 . Sadly seven were killed in that one, as opposed to Tomba who survived. C'est La Guerre.

First of all: HAPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

I hope that everybody have a great 2012.

This is my second build for the group.

The kit is the same kit than Hasegawa offer, although is an old kit with raised panel lines and basic detail is quite good for it´s age and th fit is exellent.

I plan to build this plane

I had troubles finding data nd mostly pictures of th Learjets during the war.

My build th VF-17 was used in to check radio helps and calibration task, during the war it helped with the navigation of the poorly equiped argentinian fighters.

I have no idea about how the interior of the plane looked so I use the parts provided with the kit (configurated like a VIP transport) and I will shut the door because I´m quite sure that the VF-17 have no leather seats LOL.

Here is what I have done so far.

I want a  relax build so the only complicted thing I will do with this plane is to rescribe the panel lines.

I just want to focus on the nice scheme of the plane.

Well that´s all for now,

all the very best

Very nice start, Jere.

I also have this kit in my stash to do the same decoration.

The decals needed are few and easy to achieve.

Thnks for coments guys,

As I said the interior is incorrect but it was painted just to put something inside. With th doors closed almost nothing is visbl.

Vance in the first page you need to change th scale of my build, it´s the Heller kit and 1/48 scale LOL

bst regards
