That's one of my all time favorites, Rafa! If you took it to shows, everyone would be asking where they could get that kit! The USMC markings are just right, too!

Astonishingly outstanding work, amigo!!!

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

When i first heard that Venezuela was going to build a light strike aircraft, i thought it would just be yet another lame Tucano like aircraft. The result made me fall in love :wub: :thumbsup:

Thanks to Lou Vautour, Master solid-model maker from Canada for all his help and direction. All the credit goes to him. This could not have happened without him.

I want to be Lou Vautour's friend, too!  This is magnificent, Rafa.  I've always wanted to shape some airframes from wood or MDF but just never had the guts.
I applaud your fearless dabbling in all media, Rafael!  You da man!   :bow:  :bow:  :bow:

Absolutely agreed!! :thumbsup: Gut is the point :blink:

Humbly, back to my styrene.

Thanks, my dear friends!!!

I believe that modeling doesn't occur in any media, kit, scratch, or bash. Modeling takes place inside the modeler's mind. You lot are the living proof of what I say.
