Now I'm 66 years old (2024), almost 50 years as a scale modeler. I have built mainly 1/72 scale FAB (Força Aérea Brasileira), but I love really WWII aviation in general. I've been in a "crisis" of nostalgia (LOL), that´s why I have built or restored some old models that bring me back so much good memories.

I'm a RC model airplane "pilot"

I'm a Harley Davidson biker too.

I live in Natal - RN, Brazil

Revell Convair Tradewind – Restoration

Since I am not as young as some hobby friends, I have many recordings of the good times of Revell in Brazil, between the ages of 60's and 70's. I intend to build some models that make me return in time, as a rescue of the memory of [...]

P-39Q Airacobra – Academy 1/72

I have had a passion for the P-39 since I was a child, when my oldest brother (80 old now) bought the Revell P-39 kit in the 1960s. That was indeed the first kit I saw in my life, and I have fond memories of that time. The Academy's P-39 D [...]

Hasegawa Me-163 Komet – 1/32 scale

In my collection of built models as well as in my kit stack, I have few items from German aviation. But that's not because I don't like it, but because I usually have difficulty to paint german schemes. I decided to built this Hasegawa [...]

Naval Aviation Museum – Pensacola – FL – USA

I had the opportunity to visit this museum on 03/19/2019. For those who do not live in the USA, I suppose it is not an easy or cheap trip. But I planned this visit well in advance, within a larger 20-day trip, visiting several cities in [...]

Supermarine Spitfire MkIIa

I felt a need to do something quickly. So I decided to built this Spitfire out-of-the-box. This is the new Airfix mold on the 1/72 scale. But, Spitfires are always a great adventure to build and collection. I had nice pleasure doing it.

Some pictures of my built kits collection.
