Thank you for your words!!! I definitely enjoy the colors and variety of these models. I have to mention that these models are mostly put together by my friends, Wilson Valbuena and Rodrigo Talero. I just did the research and recolor.

Sikorsky S.38. This amphibian model played an important step in the transition of Colombian aviation from the waters of the Magdalena River, to the populations of the interior of the country.
Due to the high costs involved in the construction of airports in the interior, the S.38 allowed the development of some alternate routes, which expanded colombian aviation. Scadta had six units, plus an S-41, all coming from Pan American Airways: C-45 (???) "Ernesto Cortissoz" C-46 (114-6) "von Krohn" C-47 (314-7) "Olaya Herrera" C-30 (414-7) "Carlos E. Restrepo" C-50 (214-18) "Vasquez Cobo" C-52 (214-19) "William Valencia" C- (????) "Alfonso Lopez" which was actually S-41

Photo #6 has what appears to be Ford Trimotor in background with wing baggage compartments opened. Were they also operated in Colombia or that's just a visitor?

The Ford tri-motor. Another of the wonderful planes used by the Scadta. This aircraft allowed a large movement of passengers between large cities.
Peter Paul von Bauer tried to buy these planes from Ford, but it was at that moment that Juan Trippe blocked him. The power of Juan Trippe of Pan American, closed all the doors, by prohibiting Ford from negotiating with Scadta. This was one of the main reasons why Peter Paul von Bauer was forced in 1929 to enter into negotiations with Pan American Airways, culminating in the sale of his majority stake in Scadta to Pan American in 1932. Already having acquired this partition in Scadta, Juan Trippe began to transfer some of the Ford Tri-motor from him to the Scadta. Two Ford 5-AT Tri-Motor passenger planes were destroyed in a collision at Medellín-Enrique Olaya Herrera Airport (EOH), Colombia. Seventeen occupants were killed. Tri-Motor F-31, operated by SACO, swung off the runway during takeoff run and struck a SCADTA Ford Tri-Motor, registered C-31 that was taxiing towards the runway. Both aircraft caught fire. All seven on board the SCADTA plane were killed. Ten of 13 occupants of the SACO plane were killed. Among those killed on the SACO plane were: Capt Ernesto Samper Mendoza (pilot), Carlos Gardel (47, singer, actor), and Alfredo Le Pera (35, lyricist).

a doubt YK Are you going to recolor the Ford trimotor of the SACO airline?
An interesting fact is that this airline is that the founder of said airline was Ernesto Samper Mendoza, the cousin of the great-grandfather of the journalist, humorist and YouTuber Daniel Samper Ospina, also known as "Holasoydanny".

Clark seaplane. It was used by Scadta in 1934, experimental all-metal single engine. It flew between the Atlantic Coast and along the Magdalena River.
Production was in only five aircraft built, the prototype and four other examples, three of which adopted the definitive retractable landing gear and a fourth, commissioned by the Colombian SCADTA and identified as GA-43J, made in seaplane configuration. A single unit was in the fleet: C-90 ‘Bolivar’ General Aviation Clark GA-43J, 19.Nov.1934 S/N 2205
