    Bit late to the party, but - what a great build, @Jose Pedro! I should have one of those, too (or should it be two - who knows...).

    Seeing you are in the Azores - which island? I really hope to get back to "my" islands within the next year, it was love at first sight, and I'm longing 😍

    First of all, please excuse me for the very late reply. 

    Thanks for the kind comments!

    This kit was really funny to build. 

    I am from Terceira Island. I am glad that you liked the Azores. It is a very beautiful place to live! 

    Cheers.

    Beautifully built and finished model of this unsung hero Jose - really nice. What a great little aircraft this is/was - in use all over he world. You could spend the rest of your days modelling all the wonderful colour schemes and variants.

     

    Cheers

    Hi Malcolm!

    Thanks for the feedback!

    It was only when i was searching for photos of the Aviocar online that i realised how many nations and privates operated the C-212. There is, in fact, o lot to choose from.

    Even the other special portuguese scheme provided in the box is very beautifull!

    Like so many other aircraft from many other nations. Everything is just boring grey now ☹️

    Hi!

    let`s see it as an oportunity to model the special schemes that are avoided by the majority of aircraft modellers!😆

    Ah yes to be fair you have the mighty Merlin to do that job now still in camo I believe ....your next project?

    Hello!

    In fact, the Merlin is providing sterling service with the FAP.

    I had the opportunity to seat on the cockpit of one, and what an impressive piece of machinery.  Some of the staff that performs the sanitary evacuations work with me at the hospital, and certainly that will be a project!

    Fantastic! Seems that it`s not easy-to-make kit, but you did just great! :worthy:

    Hello!

    The kit has some pitfalls, but nothing out of the ordinary.

    Thanks!

    I love that the Portuguese keep a lovely traditional camouflage....looking good👍

    Hello!

    Thanks for the feedback!

    Sadly, the Aviocar left service in 2012, and with it, the camouflage scheme also vanished...😑

    That's a wonderful build of an airplane you don't see modeled that often, or so it seems to me.

    Thanks for the reply!

    What an excellent job you've done of a cute little utility workhorse.

     

    The back story also adds to the worth of the project.

    Hello!

    Thanks for your comment!

    This aircraft was a familiar sight for a long time!

    I know amazing stories from aeromedical evacuation missions performed by some colleagues aboard this little plane!

    Really nice build of an amazing workhorse,one of my favourite light transporter.(The others would include the Skyvan,just too bad Airfix isn't producing it anymore)

     

    Thanks!

    These airframes provided sterling service to the FAP and to Azores in particular!

    We are now with the C-295 in aeromedical and SAR missions!

  4. Hello!
    This model was finished on the first half of 2019, and was published on the June issue of Airfix Model World.
    It`s the Special Hobby offering of the C-212 Aviocar.

    This build had a special impact in me. These Aircraft saved a lot of lives on the archipelago of Azores (were i live) transporting patients from the smaller islands to the ones with hospital.

    There are even some Azoreans born aboard the Aviocar!

    The kit is well detailed and the decals stunning. The presence of putty on the lower surface of the fuselage is mainly due to a mistake of the modeller.
    I used paints from the  Vallejo and Mission Model Paints ranges.

    Hope you like it!

  5. Hello!
    Here are some pics of model that was built last year, but was waiting for the right moment to come out.
    This is the well known Special Hobby kit, with Vallejo Model Air Vallejo e Mission Models paints.

    I want to leave a warm Thank You to a fellow Portuguese modeller -  Paulo Lopes, for the inspiration provided by his work on this kit, which got me through - Obrigado!

    Here is a link for the detailed construction and painting process of the Buckeye.
