Nice pics, Carlos. I visited the area as a trucker several years ago and took a day and went to Pima. A very interesting visit it was.

Thanks Paul. One of these days I’ll get over to Pima.

Thank you for sharing those pictures and your impressions with us, Carlos. Looks like it was a hot day.

Beautiful pics Carlos! Man, those aircraft look so great!

I actually have two P-3 Orion kits: one Japanese and one US Navy. I'm gonna build that one! If I like it a lot, I'll build the Japanese one.


Hmmm, I should go find those kits.....

Torben and Mark, thank you. Glad that you like the photos.

Torben, it was kinda hot, but not as hot as it’s going to get during the summer.

Mark, get to work on those Orion’s! I look forward to you sharing that project here.

Cool pics, just curious, why are the canopies frosted?

Thanks. Just a guess, but I’d say that the canopies are frosted for long term preservation. They tend to deteriorate if they are left clear and don’t have routine maintenance performed upon them. If not, they discolor, crack, and eventually tend to disintegrate.

Give me time my friend! LOL! I still have a huge Antonov to finish, along with an A-400 Grizzly and a C-54. Those are already far behind schedule; except maybe the Antonov...

Yeah I hear ya there. Model building schedule? What’s that?
