Thanks Ekki. Also an old project that I've finished back in 1995 during the war between Ecuador and Peru. In those years, there was no decals for this intended aircraft (FAP-152), so I had to look in my spare decals box for others. Soon I will be updating this model with Aztec Decals for this version.
For you to know, this aircraft was shot down in February 10th 1995 by an Ecuadorian Kfir serial FAE-905 (see my Kfir C-2 project) with a Shafrir II missile. The A-37B was split in two and the pilot could eject safely, but landed in a dense jungle and could not make it to return to his base nor was rescued and his body was found later. The canopy of this aircraft is in an exhibit in Aerospace Museum in Quito.

Thanks for the additional information. Always very interesting.
I've got one of the Dragonflies in my stash as well and will build it eventually, not, after having seen yours, however in he Peruvian camouflage scheme but, probably, either in the Salvadorian or Chilean camouflage scheme.

Wait for the Ecuadorian schemes... either with South East Asia scheme or Europe One (Lizzard), jejeje
