This is my AIR PANAMA 727-100 "Cerro Ancon", in its tricolor livery, used by the middle of the 80´s. 

By that time, the original Air Panama airline was owned and operated by the Panamanian government.  The tricolor livery is a remembrance of the patriotic feeling lived during that controversial period in our national history. 

During those years, I was attending senior high school.  A classmate's father, used to fly this airplane as a flight engineer. 

The model is an Airfix 727-200 in 1/144 scale.  The fuselage was cut into two sections to fit the size of a -100 version.  The decals were custom made by myself, using decal paper.
