@PedroA - Pedro,

I agree with 'Sharjacek' that is a nice conversion. And as I had mentioned before, super job on the camouflage and weathered wheels.

Where did you get the decals for the door? Did you make these yourself?

Sven, Eddy, thanks for the comments.

Yes. The air emblem have been painted with airbrush. The letters for the door are a homemade transfer. In my blog you can see a little step by step. The problem. It only is valid with black colour.

Regards. Pedro.

Hi Pedro,

I think that this little gem is one of your best conversions, can't compare it to your scratch-builds because they are in a different league. I especially like the way you have handled the paint job and the weathering, it is a beautiful display of your talent. I find inspiration in all your work and look forward to your next little project.

All the best,

Paul

Hi Pedro,

Excellent work as always. It makes me forget about the scale.

It's surprising how resourceful you are accomplishing so much with home made tools. I recommend to everyone a regular visit at your blogspot.

P.A.
