Hi
This is my new project, a Douglas C54 / DC4 1/14 scale. This model must be a memorial of our TC48, lost in November 3th 1965 and never found. This tragedy means for our Air Force 69 people, including a of crew 9 and 59 class graduates and a Peruvian graduate.
The history of this tragedy is no closed even today,
In November 2015 will be the 50th anniversary and my model will fly as a memorial.
A huge discussion of this tragedy will be found here, some post in English and sometimes in Spanish:

This is the last photo in Panama, minutes before take off, and Clarin newspaper talking about.
I has a personal and emotional relation with this plane. I was 8 years old and went whit my father to a ceremony in "El Plumerillo" air base and saw the take off and all the graduates. I remember three days later my father explaining me the plane had vanished somewhere in Costa Rica.
Finally my plans are to fly my model in "El Plumerillo" in 2015.
