Hey Lorenzo, I saw you did the F-5 Tiger II in Patrouille Suisse painting, I'm doing a series of European aerobatic teams now, and as I have already done the F-5 Tiger II, the first in the series is the BAE Hawk Red Arrows
And another from the series soon on my page on FB

Well speaking of broncos I just made a recolor of 2 Colombian broncos

juan angel 747 that OV-10 Bronco recolors are well done mate!!! You have been advanced at giant steps into recolors. Now I get you an advise: try to get some military fonts in order to produce the lettering. You used the fonts available at Inkscape but there is a post in Bruno's thread for download them. Now I was looking for Soviet/Russian fonts like the ones cafe used in his MiGs, but I can't find them. Thanks for the recolor!!! Best Regards.Tony.

thank you very much for those appreciations indeed if I want to know how I can find those military sources

although for these broncos the letters are somewhat similar

Truth be told, for the russian recolors I either use USAF Amarillo or one of the USAAF stencil fonts if the original is close enough or I redraw them from scratch. In that case, there's no real font on my side and I only have a few numbers, not the whole set. In some instances, it's a modern Luftwaffe font that I modify with the options in the path menu. No real fonts on that side either.T

Thanks for the tip cafe, and juan angel 747 for to say that the recolor is complete you should build it, just for checking up alignment. Test build is also included in the recolor time period.

Nice work on those recolors Juan, its now on my pending to build list!

I resized a batch of S&P Puma helicopters to 1: 100 scale, here I show the first builds of them, it is a great model, but I am a little disappointed with the look of the nose section. I am trying to fix it using pieces from the nose section of a GPM kit, you will see that in the next Puma I build.
