In a way of saluting
my lovely country on it's National Day, I make this particular
article that includes some old aircraft such as the P-47D Thunderbolt, F-80C Shooting
Star and the venerable Hawker Hunter MK.71 and some actual but not new
A-37B Dragonfly and F-5E Tiger II.
The kits brand are:
Academy (P-47D), Hasegawa (A-37B), Airfix (F-80C), Matchbox (Hawker Hunter),
Testors (F-5E) and all of them in 1/72 scale. A friend of mine (Antonio Segovia,
"shocman") made his contribution with his special brown scheme H.H.
All these aircraft
served very well at different air bases around my country, between
1947 to the present time and will be remembered in our minds for many years to come.

Most of these kits
were made a long time ago, and some of them like the F-5E don't represent the
actual shape in the Fach (Chilean Air Force) inventory. Besides, it represents
the 80's look, like the A-37B.
In actual
days, the Fach combat inventory included the F-5E "Tiger III", Mirage
50 "Pantera", Mirage M5 "Elkan", A-37B and OA-37
"Dragonfly", T/A-36 "Toqui" and the brand new F-16
C/D Block50 , our new vipers! ;)
Well, I hope you
enjoy these little kits as much as I do.
