Here is one of my latest models it was done actually from the old Airfix kit of the skyhawk (A version) but I managed to transform it into a B version (Q version for the Argentinian Navy). The decals were home made, I rescribed the panels as I sanded off all the raised detail. The refuelling probe, antenas, thingypit interior were all done from scratch.    Saludos! |

The scooter is one of my favorite aircraft and the Argentine markings are great!
Great job with the Airfix kit Carlos.

Thanks guys although Airfix is one of the worst brands in the market (old kits) I like it because it eally puts a challenge every time you want to build a model of this brand.

And really is a challenge, I remember when I start building planes...  ...I was 8years old and those kits give me a lot of headeachs...but at that time it was the best and only things available for me...  One brand I really enjoy building was matchbox, the way the fit was perfect and plastic so strong, I still want to build a west lisander again in 1/72... |

;D I loved Matchbox because they were the first "engraved" panel lines I saw.... I remember thinking "why don't all companies use engraved lines?" They must have heard me!  |
