Thank you for the appreciation of my work as well as the tip about recoloring Cafe, I might do some tweaking about it on my next model


Lemme take a photo soon on how i worked on the F-15’s Engine compartment Juan

Hello here, I just saw the pdf templates of a Tu-160 blackjack bomber here and I’m planning it to be my next build.

I’m just wondering what is the scale of the model because there’s no scale being indicated on, thanks for the reply and will be appreciated

The Blackjack is in 1:300 per Bkensky's post here.

I heard that LitNik wants to make a TU-160 but he has only made the TU-22M (the version with retractable wings), which I certainly downloaded in only paper.ru (I still question that of publishing good models in not so safe pages instead of here in paper modelers)

Thanks Cafe, I might giving a shot building his uploaded Tu-160 templates tho, I just need to take a shift from fighters to bombers for now hehehe

In Lorenzo's thread, I said I had updated Bruno's original Hercules (and TigerTony's AC-130A) with revised cockpit windows. Here are the modified pdfs.

Nice templates you have uploaded there on the recolored C-130s Cafe, it has a very good details indeed

I’m also working on recoloring the F-15C Eagles with existing serial numbers that was in service today, but bearing their former markings during the service lifetime such as my sample model below:


*serial no. 80-0029, which bears the markings of historical 525th TFS/36th TFW based on a former Bitburg Air Base in Germany, currently in service on 122nd FS/ 159th FW of Louisiana Air National Guard.

This F-15C looks nice, Waylon.

I've edited Juan's recolors of the C-130 to change the cockpit windows and a few other things. If they're overscale, so are all other Herks including Bruno's originals (though the wingspan is a tiny bit shorter than what it should be in 1:300).

C-130.net lists for Mexico 10 C-130A (2 written-off and most if not all of the rest retired), 2 C-130E (1 active and 1 preserved), 2 ex-RAF C-130K/Hercules C.1, 2 ex-RAF C-130K/Hercules C.3 (stretched version) that started their lives a short versions (C.1) and one L-100-30 (which is also a stretched version). Wikipedia also mentions the C-130H (how many?) and 2 C-130J-30 (stretched version, were they actually delivered?).

well when I tried inkscape I remembered when I made my first color change (the one of the B787-8 of avianca) and I realized several things
1. inkscape is easier to use than paint.net (and the results are better)
2. I felt very comfortable with the program
3. I will have to learn more to improve my techniques

so I thank all those who have helped and advised me in this world of papercraft

here a contribution a blank A320 with all the fuselages of the A320 family

Here are 2 OV-10 Bronco in Philippine Air Force colors. They're very old requests from Marbucu that I've only completed this week. He's already built both of them.

The 1:200 version is waiting for mod approval in the download section (as are some Herks I mentioned in another thread).
