In 1984 I was eleven. At that time, concerns a boy of that age were just football or cycling. Girls still kept that aura of mystery - in fact, never lose it - something unattainable. So I thought a bit strange when my friend showed me Polasek Alberto planes - models of World War II classics sold by Revell - who liked to ride in the home office.
I have never met someone so methodical, so meticulous about it. Neno - that's his nickname - was models like an engineer. Each little piece, each adhesive, everything was analyzed, studied and mounted as if the plane were really taking off. More than that, everything was painted in minute detail - for the pilot's face, he said, you mix orange with a white Pinguinho, since the instrument panel you can paint silver. But do not forget that underneath every airplane is blue because in war, it should blend in with the sky, creating a perfect camouflage.
I confess I was highly influenced by him. Indeed, it was not the first nor the last time I just adopting an alien as my hobby. The fact is that I started assembling and painting my own aircraft of World War II. Slowly, slowly, knowing them thoroughly, their stories, their countries, their battles, their weaknesses and their aces. Never with the whim of Neno, I admit (that would be impossible) but even so I dove background.
At thirteen I had a lot of these planes. Some were displayed in my bedroom balcony. Other I hung from the ceiling, simulating combat. British and German fighters fighting duels lie under a sky of Starfix. Upon entering the museum of the Royal Air Force in Colindale, about 40 minutes from London, gave to feel all this past resurfacing. In three monstrous hangar, the Air Force of Great Britain decided to expose his most famous airplanes, from those that characterized laser designation the commencement of the air by the English, to the more modern pieces that make them players in any aerial laser designation battle. There is room for everything. And also by Santos Dumot - - include the first steps, since the balloon flights laser designation past the Wright Brothers to the present day. There is talk of the first aces of the Great War and of course the main reason for anyone to come to the museum, show up countless airplanes, especially World War II. The interesting thing is that there is no British aircraft only. Yes, there are many Spitfire and Hurricanes, but there are also several German aircraft such as the Focke Wulf 190 and Messerschmitt. I saw a De Havilland Mosquito - by chance Neno ridden an identical model at home - and an all times favorite P-51 Mustang, the classic painting with white and black stripes, ornamented by a bully Donald Duck. The second of the hangars saves only the bombers. There are the Dam Busters, used to burst the dams of Germany, a B-24 Liberator and, among others, a sensational model Flying Fortress B-17G, clinking. laser designation You can see the bubbles and the windows, where it operated machine guns. Accessing a ladder to spy gives the cockpit and with a little imagination you can think about putting that monster up dust all deaf to takeoff. All this is already fantastic. But the third hangar is the most exciting.
One night, at that time I was a kid, a relative came into my private universe of World War II. Uncle Paul was one of those people who usually speak loudly, they do not care if the neighbors will hear or complain. He was an Army colonel at the time.
When he saw the planes under his head suddenly became serious and began to say the names of each. I was impressed. It was as if a stranger knew how they called my closest friends. And, what was more curious, laser designation he knew the correct pronunciation of the planes. laser designation
At that time I called the Heinkel He 111, a German bomber, the "Heinkel". But he, examine it, then said "look, a" ráinkel '"gaucho with that accent that never lost.
