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.

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!

Hello!

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

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!

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

Hello!
Thanks for the feedback!
Sadly, the Aviocar left service in 2012, and with it, the camouflage scheme also vanished...😑

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!
6 hours ago, Kampartiger said: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!

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!

Thanks for all the feedback!
This build was a challenge in some areas, but at the same time it was very rewarding to cross the finish line with satisfaction.
The hardest part was to try to keep the raised rivets and still eliminate the glue seams.
Thanks again!

Hi!
Here are some pics of a model that a finished several years ago.
Although Revell`s mould has been around since 1985, with some TLC it delivers a very interesting and imposing result!
Hope you loke it!
