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 from the air, land and sea branches of the
Venezuelan armed forces. There were fewer models this year of these subjects
than in previous years. May be it’s getting harder to find decals for
Venezuelan subjects.

The
biplane in the first photograph represents a Caudron G3, the first
airplane that served in the
Venezuela
’s Air Force (FAV, Fuerza Aérea Venezolana.) Other hard to recognize
subjects are a pair of Venezuelan submarines, one of these is the famous
“Carite” (named after perhaps the most emblematic -and delicious too-
fish of our country,) that were modeled together in a diorama in a very
small scale (photo # 7.) There was also a T-2D Buckeye training jet in SEA
style camouflage, of which I couldn’t take a good photograph.
Photo
# 6 is from a diorama whose name translates as “The transition,” in which
the transition from the old Sea King and the new Mi-35 transport & assault
helicopters is symbolized by soldiers moving from one to another. Perhaps there
are other less evident transitions symbolized in this simple diorama…
I
hope you’ll enjoy the photographs. Greetings from
Caracas
,
Venezuela
.
