Cordial saludo Javier, lo felicito por su trabajo el par de aviones quedaron sencillamente espectaculares, una pregunta, porqué la cucarda del FAC 861 no lleva la estrella de cinco puntas???, muchas gracias por su amable respuesta
Hola Juan Carlos, muchas gracias!. Esa es una buena pregunta que también me hice y la verdad no tengo una respuesta, lo cierto es que en las imágenes (especialmente video) de referencia del 861 y de otros P-47 en servicio en Palanquero las cucardas carecen de estrella, también hay imágenes de los A-26 así en la misma base , quizás se deba a que es la época de transición entre la estrella de 9 puntas a la de 5 (mediados de los años 50) y operaron sin estrella por un tiempo,. la razón no la tengo clara.
Hola Javier buenas noches, muchas gracias por la respuesta y si tiene usted mucha razón lo más probable es que por la fecha muy cercana al cambio de cucarda, se diera dicha situación de no utilizarla temporalmente. De nuevo lo felicito por sus modelos y por los tips de modelismo tan interesantes
Hey man, Bill Grigg here. So cool to find you here. I too have a RU-vid channel at "Modeling With Bill Grigg" or "PMCMP". The 47's look great, you are a talented dude, but man do you move fast (LOL). I'm still building like crazy, into 1/16th scale figures big time. Just did the old 1958 Aurora Golden Knight along with 4 Verlinden Zouaves, a Pegaso 54mm Ninja, Sitting Bull in 1/16th, The Invisible Man in 1/8th, Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde in 1/8th and right now I'm painting a kit bash of the Millennium Falcon cut to pieces and married to a 1/48 Russian Frogfoot. Getting ready to do something with a 1/48 Scorpion, but not sure where that is going to go, I got Sea Scimmer in mind But ????. Anyhow this is so cool, miss seeing you, I'm still doing contests and vending. I'll say hello to all and turn them on to your channel. This is GREAT !!!!! Bill G.
Hi, thank you very much for your words and message, you build quite a few projects at the same time!!!... I have a couple to finish and others just started, among them a Lindberg Goshawk, a kit from the 50s. I subscribed to your channel, You explain your techniques and process quite carefully, your dioramas are very interesting, I remain attentive to the progress of the AC-47, I built one too but in a "modernized" version (BT 67, turbo propeller engines) with the same Monogram kit, I like them a lot of these old kits. Best regard!!! Javier.O.
Outstanding once again, Javier! Like your recent F-80s, these P-47Ds have been beautifully built and finished. They simply reinforce the fact that you are indeed a very talented modeller! Well done!👍
I used AutoCAD but you can use any 3D modeling program. That's right, along with 3D printers they are a great resource for making parts that are not commercially available.
@jariordoyt You're very much welcome! I had to Google the national insignia as it was familiar, but I wasn't sure.... I've been thinking about building aircraft for the Latin and South America countries, and this inspired me to look into it again.... As much as I love the P-47, I think that I'll build a T-6 Texan, PT-17 Stearman or even the F-86 Sabre for Colombia.... Im looking forward to see you build more! The F-80 next!
@@Duececoupe Thank you very much, I am glad to know that you are interested in Latin American topics, there is a good variety of airplanes with interesting schemes and stories, many successes with those Colombian airplane projects!👍
@jariordoyt Many thanks, much appreciated! I loved history and geography in school and still do many years later! Latin and South America are often overlooked in modelling, which is a shame, looking forward to build and learn! 👍🏻
Hola, vi el vídeo sobre el F80 y descubrí a un verdadero artista. Los P47 se encuentran entre las mejores creaciones del año. Saludo tu talento y también tu pasión por esta fuerza aérea colombiana tan poco conocida en Europa y que nos revela tu fascinante canal. Bien hecho y gracias. Saludos cordiales, Stéphane.
Hola, muchas gracias por tus palabras, me alegra mucho que te gusten los videos y en particular el tema de la Fuerza Aérea Colombiana, cordial saludo, Javier 👍
Beautifully built, Javier! You've illustrated perfectly that these older models, when assembled with love and care, can still grace display shelves today. Your skill and abilities in duplicating components is also impressive. Well done.
Very nice! Those old Monogram kits are some of the most accurate model kits in 1/48 scale but they can be a pain to get them assembled properly. You however, did a really nice job on this one!
Thank you so much!. It's true, Monogram kits can be a little complicated to assemble and require more work compared to more recent kits but they are very nice and accurate, I really like them in 1/48
Hi, Thank you very much. It´s not a particular computer font, it´s a design used by the Colombian Air Force in the 40s and 50s, I drew the numbers from photographs as a reference, I don't know if there´s a similar font.
Muchas gracias. Los Sabre colombianos eran fabricados en Canadá, tenían el mismo esquema de pintura y tipo de números de los aviones de ese país (Commonwealth), la diferencia es únicamente en las insignias. Los colores son los RAF de la época Dark Sea Gray BS638, Dark green BS641y PRU Blue BS 636
Very nicely done! I really like how easy you make it look, even though from experience I know it's a lot trickier than it looks to weather effectively. I really like how you were able to add the details from when it was in US hands before joining Colombia. Loved it!
