ArmouredSprue Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Fantastic model mate. More impressive are the photographs that you have shown. Very well done indeed. If I may ask, where did you get the decals for this version? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Dog Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Remember that kit fondly and your rendition is excellent. 'Snigger snigger' -that rego and the lush grass the plane sits on. Ha Ha. sorry mind in gutter... again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 What a gem! I imagine that took some work, but you sure nailed it. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wlad Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Beautiful job Guilherme. I had no idea Varig flew them. I built the Heller kit back in the early '80s and seem to recall it was a nice kit. Cheers, Wlad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Might be a simple kit, however you still need great modelling skills to make it look this good. That’s just lovely. Cheers and well modelled.. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForestFan Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Lovely job. Great historic photos too. I remember building this kit as a kid, glue marks everywhere! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple to use, just cut to the shape. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
