    I have worked on “many” aircraft models, read hundreds of airplane books, looked at tens of thousands of aircraft photos, have flown professionally for almost 32 years and this man is “it”….he is THE standard by which all model aircraft building is compared against. Indeed, anything less than his level of care and perfection is about 10 levels below “mediocre”…..that’s where the rest of us are. I am in complete awe of your skill, Sir. You humble and inspire model builders around the world and simultaneously honor the men who built, worked on and flew the mighty B-24. WELL DONE!

      Thank you, Ned. During the 1980s I built several models in smaller scales of 1:24, 1:32, and 1:40, including the Handley Page Halifax. Maybe one day I can build a Lancaster. In any case, I am no longer going to work on large scales of 1:15 or 1:20 because each model takes me two to three years. It is too much for a single model and the prices are very expensive

      Thanks for the comment, Nathan. As I have already told many people, when I complete the B-24, I'll dedicate myself exclusively to finishing the "tutorial kit" project before starting to work on another model. My "tutorial kit" will be a combination of DVD, booklet, and some aluminum parts (ribs, stringers, spars, panels, covers, etc.) to teach my basic techniques. For many years my project and great desire is to make several videos and a book showing all my techniques and tips, but due to the construction of my models I can never dedicate the necessary time to it. That is why the "tutorial combo" will be ideal for many modelers who want to have early access to this informative material without having to wait for more years until I have enough time to present a more complete and in-depth tutorial.

Yo tengo cada vez más respeto por esos modelistas que hacen sus modelos en papel, cartulina, madera, metal o lo que sea, pero los hacen ellos. Te cuento una anécdota que está relacionada: en el Museo Naval de Tigre no han podido encontrar quién les haga los modelos en escala 1:40 que utilizó la Armada Argentina después de Malvinas. Eso es porque dejé de construir la colección para ellos cuando me fuí del país. Ahí hay varios "gurus" del plastimodelismo, pero parece que nadie se anima a construir modelos en una escala donde no existen ni kits ni accesorios (a todo esto el museo agregó dentro de la vitrina unos modelos de plástico en escalas pequeñas , tal vez 1:32 o 1:48 y encima quitaron la placa con mi nombre. Un mamarracho total)! Saludos cordiales.

      Thank you very much for your comment, David. Before settling in the USA, I had built 104 airplane models in different scales (mainly 1:40) for two museums in Argentina. Then I settled in Spain and spent two years selling models to Executive Display Models in London and Heritage Aviation Art, in Seattle.
      When I settled in the USA in 1993, my work was already known mainly by collectors. In the fall of 1995 Cigar Aficionado magazine (general interest) published a four page article about my work and my story. "Although Rojas Bazan was not widely known (in the USA), he had a small following of collectors in this country, and was known to people in the esoteric world of expensive, one-off models. One who knew of RB's work is GK, who owns Fine Art Model".
      I worked exclusively for FAM for 14 years, building prototypes that were later copied in limited editions. Then the internet appeared, and then the algorithms, that only seek to position whoever gives the most profit (if I added a plastic kit brand in the titles of my videos, millions would enter!).
      My field is model engineering, not the plastic models world; although they have things in common, they are different disciplines.
      Visit this link to learn more (my website needs to be fixed because there are scattered titles and some broken links, but it works 90%). Thank you for your support, David.

    I tip my hat Sir!
    I have a special place for the B-24. My Uncle (my Dad's brother) was a bombardier on one. It was pretty badly shot up and was lost in the Owen Stanley Mountains of New Guinea. The plane was found about 9 years ago and the U.S. recovery team went out to the wreck. There were no remains or parachutes in the aircraft, and All sensitive equipment was smashed/destroyed.
    They did bail out. However, .....
    This area of New Guinea is home to the headhunters. The Allies and the Japanese knew that if the crash or the jungle didn't get you, the Headhunters would and did.
    The Recovery Team was able to get to many of the wrecks and usually found no remains or incomplete remains. We were grateful for the news, as my Uncle and the entire Crew, went from MIA-Presumed Dead to Lost in Action. We, and many other families, were finally able to close that chapter.

That way I will be able to build some models that I never had the opportunity to build before, in less time and at lower prices (these models, like the B-24, are VERY expensive! The price is equivalent to three years of salary of a professional modeler in the USA). Thank you for your support.

As for the Model ,well ? this is a Fabage egg of a model , for me there is the endless details but what sets it apart is the appearance of the rivets in the fuselage , they give the whole thing the beauty of a jewel , I collect quality diecast vehicles mostly British 60 and 70 s especially police cars ,also official cars so I know a good model , you however are a master , a jeweller !

      Philip, thank you very much for your comment. I agree with you; I consider that the job of imitating the outer skin of an airplane like the B-24, with so many wrinkles and undulations, is much more difficult than doing those interior details. The only way to replicate that finish is by making panels like the real plane, one by one, and made in aluminum sheet. And the rivets, also doing one by one, without using riveting wheels.
