Brazilian Army Aviation
Vultee V-11GB2 Vultizão

It was very hard to obtain details about this venerable aircraft. Some parts, as the ventral gunnery position, I left out since I did not gather enough information about them.
The fuselage shape was designed with the freeware software Siatki v1.0.1 (1), in six (6) pieces) that late were put together.
Wings and other structures were made with Metasequoia Freeware Version in conjuntion with Tenkai Freeware Version to get the basic shape of the pieces and rearranged them in order to reduce their quantity too.
Colors were added with Paint Shop Pro v.4.15SE. The 3D effect was obtained with Corel PhotoPaint v6.0.
Conversion to pdf format was made with OpenOffice.org v1.1.0.

2002 CHRISTMAS GIFT

Santos-Dumont Nº 20 - 1909

From the Brazilian Aviation Pioneer Alberto Santos-Dumont, this light monoplane can be considered the first ultralight aircraft:
Structure made of bamboo cane;
Surfaces covered with Chinese silk
Its weight was only a 110 kg;
Wing Span = 5,50 m;
Lenght = 6,20 m; and
Engine = 35 HP 2 cylinder.

The plans were sold in England for 300 pounds, and in France for 7500 French francs. Many WW1 pilots learned to fly in this machine, even if they didn't like its flight characteristics.

Naval Aviation
Focke Wulf Fw-58 C2 Weihe
Version 1 – No Cockpit Interior

Unfortunatelly, I still couldn't get pictures of the aircraft interior. I have only one of the front panel. So, due to the lack of information - until now - about the seats and lateral panels, this model came with no cockpit interior. Sorry.
I am still hoping to get the missing pictures in order to release Version 2 with cockpit and nose cone interior.
So, any kindly help to improve this model, sure, will be greatly appreciated.

It was based on drawings of Rudnei Dias da Cunha (with permission) and Felipe Canuto Miranda (with permission), which can be found here (contains drawings and the history of the only survived and preserved aircraft of its kind in the whole world (both posted here with permission from the authors):
