Hi!  This is my first submission to ARC. I visit the page direly since April of this year, and want to say Thanks for the space and congrats for link that make us, model beginners, inspired ourselves to make better models based on your experiences.
I introduce you one of my first models, re-built 2 or 3 times after some little accidents (my black cat and a heavy book  -don't ask-). I'm almost blind after build it 'cause the small size, but I'm happy with the results.

Except for the wires, you can see that is built OOB. I don't want to paint it all 'cause I like the model in the original colour of metal. I just used Humbrol 147 and dark green for the tires, red brown for the prop and Testors aluminium for the gas tank, nose and wires.

I'm really happy with the results, I hope you enjoy this photos, and don't think it was an easy model to built, it take me long time to finish it, plus a lot of patience.

Fher...
