SPITFIRE MK IX - Pierre Clostermann (Italeri 1/72)


This model from Italeri on 1/72nd scale I did to represent the biggest French ace during the Second World War, Pierre Clostermann, and curiously he had a link with Brazil!
Pierre was born in Curitiba in the State of Paraná, and he lived there until he was 11 years old, in one of the latest interviews he did for a Brazilian TV Network he did mostly in Portuguese!





Besides the curious link with Brazil, what have attracted me was the paint scheme, I always wanted to build a model representing the Normandy Invasion with the white and black stripes, very attractive!








That's it folks! I hope you have enjoyed as much as I did!

KI-55 Treinador japonês WWII (Fujimi 1/72)

Esse pequeno treinador foi muito utilizdo pelos japoneses durante a segunda guerra mundial e chegaram até a receberem armamentos e entraram em combate.
Esse kit da Fujimi é muito bem feito, o cockpit é bem simples, mas depois de montado não se enxerga muita coisa mesmo!
Todo em baixo relevo fino e encaixes muito bons, eu recomendo!








Plastiabraços e até a próxima!

ME-262 A1 (PROMODELLER 1/72)

Hi all!

This time I have decided to build a classic. Amongst all WW2 warbirds, I think some airplanes are especial and therefore deserve to be in a collection, and between them is, without a doubt, the Me-262.
It was the first operation jet engined airplane, and almost changed the destiny of that conflict, all due an strategic error that is not the case to discuss here, what really matter is that it is beautiful, agressive and its painting schemes are less than ordinary!

I did build this model straight from the box without any major change besides changing the decals to show the ME-262A1a version used by Oberfeldwebel Heinz Arnold, 11./JG 7 (Prague-Ruzyn, April 1945).











Cheers!
