Thank you very much for the compliment my friend! But the master of repaints is you! I'm just a modeler always learning.

Neat little Cessna Péricles!

Hoping Brazilians affected by this flood get their lives back to some normality quickly.
But you're right about it staying in people's minds. I wasn't here in Brisbane when it suffered it's worst flooding ever before or since in 1974 but my wife was. She's never forgotten it.

Thank you my friend!

Still on the issue of floods, those who go through them really don't forget. The last major flood here happened in 1941. (Until the construction of the dam and the Mauá Avenue Wall that surrounds the peninsula of the Central District of Porto Alegre in 1969, other floods of smaller proportions occurred) So few people nowadays who experienced it are still alive. But its collective memory was forgotten, until this catastrophe reactivated it. I leave another photo of the central region of Porto Alegre from 15 days ago seen from the South. The water has already receded. Luckily, this region has a ridge that geographers call the central hills. That kept the upper part isolated from the flood. In the photo, what is underneath the water is a huge ring road.



Tomorrow I should start Stinson L-1 and move on to the next mini-series.

Bem friends, we return to our constructions with the work carried out so far on Stinson L-1.

The first of the "L-Birds" was originally designated by the USAAC as the O-49, and was inspired by the Fieseler Fi-156 Storch (although it was a larger aircraft), designed in 1938, it was introduced into USAAC service in 1941. Although promising and having a good STOL capacity had a small production, being supplanted by the Piper L-4 and also by the Stinson L-5.











Despite having few parts, it is a model with some tricks. The first of these is to build the central section of the fuselage and the canopy, paying close attention to their shape, these parts need to be built separately and the gluing done very sparingly, always checking the alignment.

I believe I should have the complete model by the weekend.
