  "100 AÑOS DE REPUBLICA, 56 AÑOS DE AVIACION" its the name of this diorama.

  On November 3, 2003, The Republic of Panama celebrated its centenary.  In that same year, Copa Airlines, on its 56th aniversary, dressed up one of its new Boeing 737-700 with a livery commemorating our centenary.

  This diorama presents the "oldest" and the "new" of Copa Airlines -a Douglas DC-3, and a Boeing 737-700. It is a tribute to my country PANAMA; and to my uncle, Captain Anel Wong, who have been in the company for more than 30 years. He has the glory of operate both planes, as well as others.

  The Douglas DC-3 is a Minicraft kit No.14434.  It was painted using Tamiya X-2 white, and Testors Model Masters metalizers.

  The Boeing 737 is a Minicraft kit No. 14481. Although this kit is a 737-300, it was converted to a -700 due to its similarity doing minor changes. The winglets were scratch built using Tech Star's 0.04 styrene sheet. It was painted with Tamiya X-2 white and Gunze Sangyo H315 (FS16440). The leading edges were worked using Testors Model Masters Krome Foil 50636C.

  This diorama is permanently exposed, since November 2003, at Copa Airlines headquarters, located in Justo Arosemena Avenue, Panama City, Panama.
