Product Article by Osni Vieira Junior on June 12 2009

 

First of all I am born in São Paulo-Capital, I am plastic modeller for 32 years since the age of 9 years old, taking the hobby seriously starting in 1998 by participating and competing in the annual convention in Sao Paulo, where in 2001 I departed from the hobby again after 5 years.   At the end of 2006 I returned to the hobby in a different way, creating kits to order for collectors and today I still accept orders from some customers and friends.

Well the MD-11 1 / 144 - Resin - was created in partnership with me Osni Vieira Junior and another plastic modeller Manaus Marcelo Minoru who ran the master of the same fuselage and the engine in-take in the fuselage.  He used a DC -10 of the same scale and the conversion was necessary for the development of the MD-11, I was involved with the construction of other parts such as wings, tip winglets, engines and chassis in the creation of templates for copying such as the production and marketing of it.

The Marcos Borges put the decals with options of choice between two airlines Varig and VASP.
The kit and custom and value of the unit comes out to around $ 90.00, and is the first aircraft of this partnership.

Other people were assisted in developing the kit, with information and technical assistance, in which I quote a few. 

Odair Quality of Liberty, which I helped in the development of mold in the kit and techniques to use resin and silicone rubber.

Antonny Bell - is a plastic modeller at conventions and forums such as (A. Bell) in technical, as the engine of the MD-11, with respect to which kit to extract the copy engine.

And finally two people who helped in encouraging and disseminating the kit - André Piovano and Rafael Benassi (RBX-decals) are both directors of the Aviation Dream forum and created a website dedicated to the category in plastic modelling - commercial aviation, which now encompasses plastic modelling in other categories, but with the main focus http://www.aviationdream.net/v02/ commercial aviation.

Below are photos of the first two MD-11's built from this resin kit.
