Hi there Still time to join the campaign? I have an Airfix Bristol Blenheim Mk.I with tons of PE which would be perfect for that. Cheers Alex

Thanks Christian and James much appreciated. There are some aspects of the German mentality that I will never understand and for the sake of not entering specific political considerations here I won't comment any further. Yes, to allow a family to relocate only to "change course" after a few...

:Drinks::lol::lol: Well if you have only been to Sao Paulo then you visited the only ugly part of Brazil (although it has a lot of culture and delicious restaurants). Go to the Northeast next time and we'll see if you won't change your mind... :good:

Absolutely majestic work @paddy. Very impressive I love the Merlin engine details. I would never tackle such a big model but I congratulate you on this build. Cheers Alex

Thanks for the post @RichB. The dimensions must be worth 3 or 4 1/72 models. Imagine the detailling you could do in this one. Cheers Alex

Nice work so far Steve. A very interesting model. Have you considered the Uruguayan Air Force scheme? This is one rare bird as well (they are still in service but beginning to be replaced with Embraer A-29 Super Tucano). Cheers Alex

Wow very nice work @Rhino. I built one of these from the Brazilian Navy a while ago. Very nice schemes both of them, but I like the second one best. Looking forward to your progress. Cheers Alex

Thank you all for the tips. Actually @moon puppy 's programm worked really well. The files are small now but quality seems to have been maintained. Here is the progress with the Cockpit PE assembled and one of the supporting vehicles (a BMD) which I will use in the diorama to carry the removed...

Well, @Rhino, both my wife and I were born in raised in Brazil and we have our families there. It is a really nice country except for naive tourists. I would recommend it. Cheers Alex

Hi Paul I am acutely aware of the problem with immigration in the UK. However, there has been an exodus of medical professionals since BREXIT and the chances are really good there. The job is excellent and that is why I am checking it out. If it doesn't work I have quite a few here in Germany...

Thanks guys appreciated I am preparing for the job interview in Manchester so I will post the new pictures as soon as I get some work done. Family is shipping out to Brazil soon (Vacation) so I will have more free time. Thanks again!

Hello again. Unfortunately my MS Paint did not allow me to resize (German version). I downloaded the Irfanview Programm and it seems to have worked. I will give it a try here. This a Photo of the PE after initial painting. I have reduced the size to the minimum. Please let me know if you can...

Thanks Paul that was very helpful. I will see what I can do with the MS Paint and if it works new pictures on the way! Alex

Thanks Bob. Do you have any ideas on how to compress these JPEGs? I can transplant a liver in a baby without breaking a sweat, but some IT things are quite a mystery to me. Thanks again!

Hi guys! Thank you so much! It's great to be with friends again. I missed all of you! Yes, it has been very tough. I moved the whole family because of the new job, my son started a new school, and I had to rent a house and pay the mortgage on the other one. Then, out of the blue, after a year...
