Hello,
fellow modelers and readers. I want to share some photographs of models exposed
at the XIII Master Hobby Show that took place in
Caracas
,
Venezuela
, on June 11 and 12, 2011. The Master Hobby Show is an annual event organized by
the Club de Modelismo (Modelers Club) 2000. I’ll show the photographs in
several articles.
In
this article I’ll focus in models of propeller-driven military aircraft. As
the theme of the open category this year was “Modeling France,” there were
many models of french-made airplanes, and also models of non-french-made
airplanes in french markings. Among the second group was a Spitfire V with
clipped wings in desert camouflage and dressed with yellow tail and shark mouth,
what an eye-catcher model it was! Another outstanding model was a huge 1/72
Northrop YB-35 Flying Wing with a splendid natural metal finish.

As
always, there were many WWII Luftwaffe aircraft, like a tiny but very well
detailed 1/144 Eduard Ju-52, several Messerschmitt and Focke-Wulf
fighters, and the strange-looking Blohm und Voss fighter of asymmetric
design. There were relatively few airplanes from the
USA
and the british Commonwealth. I finished my photographic sequence with one
of a cardboard model from a Russian giant dirigible.
I
hope you’ll enjoy the photographs. Greetings from
Caracas
,
Venezuela
.
