Model Building

[TuFun 453]

This is a whole next level building flying models!  I built mine out of balsa wood both framed and skinned with tissue paper using Cox engines.  The only exception was Cox flying models made of plastic.

Been watching his movies since a while now... Just AMAZING!

Sometimes he goes flying them and crashes happen putting a very nasty end to these masterpieces 😕

As a kid I used to spend my summer days in Lisbon deambulating along one on the main avenues where most of the airline companies had their travel offices and some really wonderful models of their fleet, mostly 747s, Trident-3s, BAC VC-10s, DC10s and DC-9s, 707s, 727s and 737s...

I dreamed of building one of those, and later started model building, first scale 1/72 (Airfix, Heller, Revell and Hasegawa mostly) later 1/48 (Hasegawa and Italeri )... and dreaming too of one day being able to build some of the airliner models this guy has built and we can watch in his streams 🙂

Sometimes I think about those times, and how probably better spent was my "love for aviation" time spent compared to seating hours in front of a PC monitor pretending I am an airline pilot 😕
