One of the Indonesian modelers did on the International Museum Day festivities was to add, repairing and cleaning all the models in the Indonesian Air Force Museum “Dirgantara Mandala”-Yogyakarta, where we donated our models to in 2010. The International Museum Day itself is celebrated every May 18. Modelers involved were from local and other cities, to name are Yhanuar and Hiddan from SMoKE (Semarang Model Kit Enthusiasts), Harry Nugroho from Solo and myself from Jakarta. While from Yogyakarta, Sinang Aribowo, Datta H (and his girlfriend), Vincent Ariyono and Bambang brought everything needed. From modeling tools to cleaning tools. That helps a lot! Theo Aji, a photographer, joined us to capture the moments. We finalized the activity by having lunch together with the IdAF Museum Chief, Col. Sudarno who willingly sit with us on the floor ! In this occasion, we added 5 more models to the collections, all in 1/72 :
Still a lot of models to do as our goals is to make every models of Indonesian AF aircrafts/helicopters but surely we will go for it. This is a small gift we give to our beloved country and Air Force in modelers’ way. Alex Sidharta
