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...

Hello dear friends, I hope you are all well! It's been a while since I've been on the forum. A lot has changed, not always for the better: I got a new job, moved, lost my position which was made redundant, moved again, and am now searching for a new job. The last two years have been...

Thanks a lot guys. Appreciated There are only 2 Hobby shops in Regensburg and from what I gathered they are only for trains and RC models. So I guess I will depend on the enormous amount of plastic dealers online in Germany.

Thanks again Gary very kind of you. Almost done with the little bird. Not sure if I will be able to do the weathering in time (because of the move) but it is basically ready. Here are the pictures (sorry the lighting was not very good): Cheers Alex

Thanks Gary I had some time off and could make some progress in painting the interior of the first Bis (this one will be all resin) and assemblying the UTI. Here are the pictures. Hope you like it. Cheers Alex

What a nice build Paul. I am so happy that you have not had any further damage in your house, a micro tornado sounds scary enough. I guess the way the climate is going we will be getting more and more of these crazy weather situations in the future. I love the Defiant, there is one at the RAF...

Thank you so much. Always a pleasure to be here among friends!

That is quite right. Some people just carry a bad vibe with them. Not much the case on the chap I was mentioned, the thing is that after 5 years of being in charge of the whole department I get a phone call on 03/31 last year saying "we're sorry but you are out of luck, a new boss is beginning...

Thanks Paul So this is the beginning of the MiG-15 UTI. Just the cockpit so far but lots and lots of PE. I love so much detailling. I had to really squeeze the end otherwise the fuselage halves wouldn't fit. But all is good. Thanks for looking and cheers Alex

Thanks much appreciated @jknaus in this case my friend a door has closed and a complete penthouse opened up! Salary is going to be triple of what I was making here. Besides it is a beautiful city- take a look: https://www.regensburg.de/en Cheers Alex
