Alejandro Martinez Colombres Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 (edited) Hi all, My name is Alejandro, live in Cordoba and I am a modeller of mainly Argentinian aircrafts in 1/72. Some times other scales and some times other subjects, like German night fighters. http://s139.photobucket.com/user/alemartinezc/media/EE373C83-250F-4D6A-990B-0C4F4984DA4E.jpeg.html Edited July 13, 2018 by Alejandro Martinez Colombres To add a Photo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Hola Alejandro ... from the USA. Interesting builds on your link. Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alejandro Martinez Colombres Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 Thank you for the wellcome. Troy, this is the sole IAe 27 Pulqui I that has been made in 1947 at Fabrica Militar de Aviones here in Cordoba designed by Dewoitine. With this plane Argentina entered the jet age, being the 6th or 7th country in the world to fly a jet. The project was cancelled in favour of IAe 33 Pulqui II, this one designed by Kurt Tank and his team installed here after the war. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alejandro Martinez Colombres Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 Hi Chris, thank you. I used to live in Montreal between 1995 and 1997, so I understand when you say "far" and the same if we talk about "winter". Alejandro. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask @Julien as these would be a good addition to the walkround section. Good that it still exists. Cheers Troy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Hi, Yes we would be interested n some picture for the walkaround section. Julien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alejandro Martinez Colombres Posted July 22, 2018 Author Share Posted July 22, 2018 Thank you all again. Lomcevak, it’s been a long time since my last time in Canada . May be one day... With regard to the Pulqui I, it is a great idea to post a Walkaround. I could contribute with some of my photos. I don’t know if the real plane is today at Morón Museum, because it was moved with Pulqui II to a permanent exposition and may be there today . I also have in my production line a resin model of the Pulqui II. A posible future post. Cheers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Uncool Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 ¡Hola, Alejandro! Welcome to the forums. This is my number one place to go to when I want to see what the modelling trends are these days. Britmodeller is teeming with a lot of top-blokes, incredible modellers as well, but you will be getting to know them in no time. Córdoba, huh? Do you happen to know anything about one Juan Carlos Heredia round there? Impressive collection of aircraft Oops in your link; the sight of the obliterated AWACS made me And those other piccies regarding cargo doors open in the DC-8 and smashed belly on the 747 reminded me what I feel everytime a shipment takes 4+ months to arrive in the country from any place in the world On 7/13/2018 at 4:15 PM, Alejandro Martinez Colombres said: German night fighters. Uh-huh... leafing through the pages of Mercado Libre, any foreign modeller will learn that German night fighters are to the modelling tastes of the Argie blokes like the apple pie & vanilla ice cream to the Yanks, and the beer and fish and chips to the Brits!

Cheers, Unc2 Hi Uncle. Thank you for your wellcome. Yes, this is also my number one place. Regarding JC Heredia, I have no idea. Tried to buy some Aconcagua kits from him, but never had any concrete answer, so in the end I grave up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, it's because I utterly despise the freaking nazis, of whom Argentina sadly and shamefully was a welcoming host. But that's a different story.

Moa, I never spoke about political sympathies but modelling tastes. You really remind me of this group of silly Argie goons I had to bash up hardly at a modelling meeting because I was proudly showing the Aeroclub 1/48 Vulcan B.2 kit I was able to get. Besides, what does the sadly and shameful welcoming of the Nazis as a host by my country has ever got to do with me, I wonder? That happened a loooooooooooooooong way back even my dad was a toddler back then. Y'see, this train of reasoning is what I find sad and shameful in you. Wise up, bloke. This is just modelling we are talking about here. No good, bloke; no good. Or wasn't the Junkers kit you're building a product of the Nazi after all?

This is just modelling we are talking about here. No good, bloke; no good. Or wasn't the Junkers kit you're building a product of the Nazi after all? The Junkers I am building is not a Nazi product, but a creation of Hugo Junkers, who was ousted by the nazis, and his company taken over by them, when he (honorably) refused to help them: "When the Nazis came into power in 1933 they requested Junkers and his businesses aid in the German re-armament. When Junkers declined, the Nazi’s responded by demanding ownership of all patents and market shares from his remaining companies, under threat of imprisonment on the grounds of High Treason. In 1934 Junkers was placed under house arrest, and died at home in 1935" I find that this is basically ruining a welcome to Alejandro, our fellow countryman, using snarly expressions and snitty language that have no place here in this space that has graciously welcome us all. I suggest this stops right here. If you would like to reply to continue this conversation please do it by personal message (PM), so we don't sour this for the rest of our fellow modelers.

For that matter, I'd rather keep my PM storage free. Cheers, Unc2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
