Hi! Here is the second kit I finished this year - 1:72 Northrop/CASA SF-5A Freedom Fighter, serial C.9-048, 464 Squadron Spanish Air Force, Gando AB, Gran Canaria, ca.1980. This particular plane can still be seen today at the Gando AB next to Las Palmas airport. All F-5s from Gran Canaria were entirely painted with aluminium paint (it`s not natural metal finish). Italeri kit, which is actually rebox of 40 years old ESCI. It's still quite good, but the mold wear is really noticeable. Model is "out of the box" except for Master Pitot tube and cannon barrels + antennas and gunsight from scratch. Nothing special, very quick project - simply to add to the collection on the shelf. Thanks for watching!- 11 replies

Here is my last finished kit in 2022 - 1:48 McDD F/A-18A+ Hornet no. C.15-85, Spanish Air Force, ALA 46, Gando Air Base, Gran Canaria. Kinetic kit, this time almost completely out of the box (except Quickboost ejection seat and Eduard AIM-9JULIs). Maybe the standard Spanish AF Hornet`s livery is not very interesting, but this kit is my tribute to all Hornets from Gando AB, whose service is slowly coming to an end. 😥 Their presence (and noise) has always made all my stays in the Canary Islands more pleasant. 😎 Thanks for watching! 😊
