Horatio Hernández ~ Study and Showcase


Continuing the retrospective for Horatio Hernández and Friendship Scale Models (FSM), here are pictures of his study, showcase and modelling awards, courtesy of correspondent Guillermo.


Horatio's showcase collection  of excellent 1/72 Japanese aircraft models



Horatio's array of modelling awards


The relative size of the Ki-77 model (FSM-002) is noteworthy.


The inevitable stash of unmade kits, sadly so often left behind

Aviation of Japan salutes Horatio's memory and his pioneering venture in rare Japanese aircraft kit subjects, with very special thanks to Guillermo for sharing these images and making this retrospective possible.

Beautiful models and a story and life I should have known more about. Thanks for sharing it, Guillermo, and for a place to read something like this without dodging ads, Nick.
