#31/2015 And another one finished. Kinetic kit mostly oob, nose guns and rocket pods were donoured by the AMK kit. Seatbelts were made of masking tape. The camo was done with Tamiya XF-52 Flat Earth and a mix of XF-17 Sea Blue with XF-18 Medium Blue. For the 6-Day-War in 1967, the Israelis equipped their Fougas with weapons and used them in the ground attack role. -
#30/2015 After, the I-16, Bf109E-1 and Bf109F-4, this is my dad´s last Spanish contribution for 2015. Academy boxing of the Hobbycraft kit, mostly built oob. Replaced the crappy kit canopy with a Hasegawa one, for that some putty and re-scribing was neccessary in the fuselage area after the canopy. Used a piece of sponge for the mesh in the nose air-intake and a plastic rod for the rod. Added some structure in the wheel wells, smoothed down the wrong tire tread. The black exhausts stripes are provided as decals in the kit, but they are slightly wrong so my dad painted them. Model Master Azure and Tamiya Titanium Silver for the camo. There would be more things to correct, as with all Hobbycraft/Academy kits. But to avoid a never ending story my dad put a fork in it

#33/2015 After the Autoblinda and the 38(t), here´s my dad´s newest quarterscale WW2 vehicle. Decided to do something a bit different. Used the new Tamiya kit and made an AA truck out of it. The Flak is from ACE, the flak base from gaso.line, the wooden "outline" on the cargo board are matchsticks. DAK palmtree decals from the sparebox.

#29/2015 Zvezda kit with decals from LF Models, painted with Gunze and Tamiya acrylics, antenna wires with EZ Line. In 1943 the Spanish Airforce received about a dozen F-4s which were stationed partly in France and Spain. Not much info about these, seems a few were painted in single RLM79. According to the old, non available anymore French book "AVIONS Hors Série No. 5 Les Messerschmitt Espagnols" some were painted in a 3-tone camo similiar to the Spanish He112, to say colors close to the early Luftwaffe ones. You find profiles on the web that show a green-green-grey camo, also LF Models manual shows that scheme but my dad kept to the "Luftwaffe" grey-green-brown color scheme.

Next roll-out, this time some WW1 stuff. Eduard Ni-17 ProfiPack built oob, Gunze H8 for painting. The Model shows an a/c of Teniente Fulco Ruffo di Calabria, 91a Squadriglia, Italian Front in Spring 1917. Fulco VIII, Prince Ruffo di Calabria, was born in 1884. He voluntarily joined the airforce at the end of 1914 even before Italy entered WW1. After flying Caudron aircraft, in the summer of 1916 he trained to be a fighter pilot and on August 23rd he was credited his first victory. His total score was 20 kills, the last in June 1918. His youngest daughter Paola was the former Queen of Belgium (until 2013). In respect and honour for all the Austro-Hungarian and Italian (later also British) pilots who fought over the Alps and Dolomites on the Italian Front. Finally our two Oeffags have their first adversary
