So friends, let bad times pass on by. From this I understood that the Presidencial TP-01 is misaligned and you're working very hard on it.
Hey John, and what about the Challenger 605? Did you make an advance of your own version? Mine is almost finished but can't catch time for the Test Build. This plane is famous because it take flights for the "Chapo" Guzman to NYC and brings home to Lozoya ex-PEMEX director now under Corrupcy charges, and get out Evo Morales from Bolivia as well.Regards,Tony.

Great builds and fantastic recolours, Tony. Are they all 1/100 as your name TigerTony100 suggests?

I have been repainting some special models of Bruno throughout the quarantine for Covid 19, and adding some details.
there are models that are not available with bruno like the challenger 605, i have been taking courses to make 3d models for the paper model.
I am impressed by this world, something far from what one is used to, and I am impressed by all the work that everyone dedicates to it and in this forum that is Tony that I admire adding details.
leave misunderstandings and inconvenience and move on with this world.
Regards

well I just wanted there to be no misunderstandings but seeing that there aren't any I'm more at ease

that and good model keep it up and you will get to the moon

fun fact
the hermercraft B787-8 is keen to do my own recolor at S&P

Thanks for your answers Modellers!! Fighters, training airplanes and helicopters are 1:100 scale; Transports are 1:150 scale because of storage space. Except the Link Flight Simulator at 1:24 scale as Currel offers it. And the guideline is one historical model, a current in service one, a transport and a helicopter. Now I'm making the entire schemes for the Pilatus. That includes PC-6 Turboporter, PC-7 and PC-9.Best Regards, Tony.

Tony, I think you confused the models, the one in the photo is a G550 that I wanted to design.
I look forward to your model to see him wear the livery of Estado Mayor Presidencial

a).- Pilatus Pc-7 "El Pollito" (Little Chicken) because of his yellow color.
Pilatus PC-7 Turbo Trainer advanced turbo-propeller trainer, belonging to the Colegio de Aire of the FAM. 88 new units were acquired from 1978, to replace the North American T-28 Trojans. Making the FAM the world's largest user of the Pilatus PC-7 The Military Aviation School received 25 units in yellow with horizontal stripes in blue. The first 45 machines arrived with the short exhausts and later they arrived with the long exhausts. In the last deliveries they arrived with digital displays. 19 units have been lost over the years. Although it is still in operation, since 2012 a replacement program for the Beechcraft T-6 + Texan II began. Since the beginning of its replacement, several have been preserved in different military installations, public squares and museums. It has space for two pilots: the instructor and the cadet; It is powered by a Pratt & Witney Canada PT-6A turbo-propeller engine with 550 shp that turns a three-bladed propeller, and can reach a maximum speed of 412 km / h; it does not have ejector seats.
BrNo. 2985 in the list of Scissorsandplanes. Bruno has all Pilatus PC-7 schemes in FAM service, except one: The 201 Squad commemorative liverie. This plane has 7 liveries and I´ll show you all of them. I build it at 1/100 scale and 95 gr / m2 Opalina paper as usual.
Best Regards, Tigertony 100.

b).- Pilatus PC-7 Operation Rainbow
On January 1, 1994, the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN), surprisingly and without a prior declaration, started an armed insurrection in the state of Chiapas, known as the Zapatista uprising. Once the occupations occurred, they issued the Declaration of the Lacandon Jungle, by which they declared war on the Mexican government while asking for "work, land, shelter, food, health, education, independence, freedom, democracy, justice and peace. " All of this, President Lopez Obrador is giving now to the population.
In the first hours of 1994, the rebels attacked and managed to occupy the municipal seats of San Cristóbal de Las Casas, Altamirano, Las Margaritas and Ocosingo, Oxchuc, Huixtán and Chanal
The response of the Mexican Army was immediate and despite the fact that many elements were frank about the New Year's celebration, they managed to repel the attacks.
The FAM implemented "Operation Rainbow" that is, the suppression of the insurrection by means of open fire. In Ocozingo, the EZLN covered itself with the civilian population and then "The market massacre" occurred. The FAM planes opened fire on the EZLN positions that were taking cover with the civilian population. It was Market Day in Ocozingo.
This prompted an immediate response from Pilatus Aviation arguing that their aircraft were only for training purposes. Proceeding to seize an embargo on an order for spare parts and protest in Switzerland.
This led years later to the FAM choosing the Beechcraft-Rockwell T-6 + Texan II in its next purchase and not the Pilatus PC-9.
This scheme is offered by Bruno, it is the BrNo. 2984, the rocket launchers come in the sheet "Ordenance modern bombs" also from Bruno. It is assembled in 1: 100 scale and with the usual 95 gr / m2 opaline paper. Regards, Tigertony100
