Rafael,
At first I thought you'd used a Hasegawa or Academy OV-10 as the basis of your model. That was impressive.... but to see that it's all scratchbuilt; that's just amazing!

Thank, You, brother Matej!!!

And Frank, I can't start to describe how much fun is to scratch build a thing out of unconventional media, or combinations thereof. Despite being in pain at the time (I'm recovering very well) the effort was well worth it. It was a real airplane of very small dimensions, and my taking it to 1/72 (with the small lenghtening of the central fuselage, I must admit) was a very entertaining task.

I do this, not only for lack of models in my country. But also to explore, like so many souls in here, like Tophe, or Archibald, or matrixone, to name a few. I should also name Matej!

Gracias.
Saludos.
