- 1:15 -1:40 Scale. One-Off Aluminum Models. Museum Collection. Truly Scratch-Built.
The custom metal models built by Guillermo Rojas Bazán are considered the best in the world in their category by several institutions of wide international prestige such as the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at the University of Notre Dame, the National Museum of the United States Air Force and Christie's South Kensington. See "Recognition letters" here:

He has worked as a professional model maker in four different countries building over 150 aluminum models in different scales for museums, collectors and aviation art galleries around the world during 38 years. See the related story:

Many comments here are by model builders. We are humble to stand in your shadow sir. Thank you for the wonderful gift that you have given to this world.
Steve, thank you very much for your kind words. It is not common to receive praise from other modelers because as you well know, there is much envy in the modeling world. So I really appreciate every comment.
The greatest aviation modelling of all time hands down. Far out!! Yes, I agree with the person who asked for a more closely detailed video of your aeroplanes shown less quickly. There is just so much magnificence on display to see! Simply wonderful.
I really appreciate your comment, Kenneth. This video is a VHS recording made about 25 years ago. Even though my website is a bit messy and there are some broken links and overlapping texts, you can find hundreds of photos showing a lot of details. When I finish my current model, I'll update it:

I just shake my head in amazement every time I see your work. You truly are gifted.
Thanks for watching my videos, Tom.
I swear that could fly, P40 is one of my favourite aircraft. Simply stunning Sir!
Blown away....he makes hose clamps for Pete's sake! Incredible is my lack of words..amazing and talented Man...
Thank you, Robert.
There's sticking a Tamiya model together with well crafted after-market parts plus a good paint job.... and ..... there's this. What a masterpiece! My god, scratch built with the most amazing craftmanship.
Sir, millions of us modellers need you to lead us :))) And what i mainly love about this, it doesn't matter where we're all from in the world. We all speak one language - models!
The work of consumate work of artists who are also great craftsmen and engineers!
Thank you very much for your comment, sir.
Excellent video! Every time I see a model you have built I am blow away! I have never seen detail before that matches anything close to what you build. No doubt about it, you sir are a master at your craft!!
Absolutely world class models. In fact they are in a class by themselves. Magnificent!
Thank you, Rick.
May I suggest something? It is such a delight to see your work, but it would be nice to have slower panning of the different areas of the plane. There is so much to see. I’ve tried pausing the video at places I want to absorb the stunning reality of what I’m seeing but the still images are blurry. Perhaps a better quality camera is in order that delivers more frames per second. I just think the superb quality of your work deserves quality filming of what you graciously share with us. All the better for us fans to see. Greetings from Canada😎❤️🇨🇦
John, the images in this video are from more than 20 years ago; there were no HD camcorders at the time! Notice that my last videos about the A6M2 Zero are HD. In two months I'll upload two new videos showing my last model, a Ju87 B1 Stuka. Thank you for the comment.
@@rojasbazan
Why don't you REMAKE that video.???
I also would love to see all those details.!!!
Keep up the GREAT work.!!!
Loved all those models of the Servicio Naval, y de la Armada Argentina.!!!
KUDOS para ud., my amigo.!!!
@@arodrigues2843 The P-40 was sold by Fine Art Models twenty years ago and I don't know who is the collector that has it, so it is impossible to remake the video in better resolution (the same happens with my other models recordered during the 90s; B-17, F4U, SBD3, Spitfire, B-25, Messerschmitt, Fw190s, etc, etc). The 1:40 scale collection is in exhibition at the Museo Naval de la Nación, in Buenos Aires and I live very far, in Michigan. If you are interested in better images about these models, visit my website; you'll find a lot of photos in good resolution of the Curtiss P-40B and many old paper photos (good quality in its time) about the collection in the museum.
That's dedication and an outstanding modeling skill and attention to detail, a wonder to look at.
Thank you very much for your kind comment, Sir. I really appreciate it.
I believe he has a workshop staffed with 1/15 scale gnomes who do all the work :)
Unbelievable craftsmanship. These miniature replicas will last for hundreds of years.
You could get a broadcasting student do a school project and immortalize your work for the world to see. As nice as your video is, it does not do your work justice. I would love to see a professional quality video of your masterpieces.
Incredibly beautiful! This is my idea of art. I would much rather have something like this in my living room than some painting or sculpture. This man is unbelievably talented.
Estimado, imagino eres un hermano Argentino, con mucho orgullo y admiración no dejo de admirar tus obras de arte, soy un chileno radicado en Rusia ex Piloto, y aficionado al maquetismo aeronáutico.Un saludo fraternal de la lejana Rusia.
Hola Hector, gracias por tu amable mensaje. Hace ya muchos años que estoy radicado en USA. Actualmente estoy construyendo un B-24 en escala 1:20, que será mi último modelo en escala grande y con tantos detalles. Cuando esté terminado me dedicaré a renovar mi sitio web y continuar con mi DVD tutorial. Luego de eso veré de construir modelos en escalas pequeñas de 1:24, 1:32 y 1:40 como hice en mis comienzos allá por los 80s. Saludos cordiales.
@@rojasbazan muy amable por responder mis comentarios, te deseo cumplas todos tus fascinantes proyectos , saludos a un gran artista
QUE EXELENTE TRABAJO GUILLERMO MIL FELICIDADES, ES TODO UN ARTESANO. UN MAGO DEL MODELISMO. YO PASE POR EL MUSEO NAVAL EN TIGRE. BUENOS AIRES Y LA VERDAD QUE ES SORPRENDENTE EL TRABAJO.
never get tire of watching his master pieces.
Thank you!
Been building models for over 40 years and thought I was pretty good....Then I see this.....Back to the drawing board.....Beautiful work, a true master of the art.
Thank you, Dave!
Words fail. the Michaelangelo of model making. this phrase doesn't do you justice. but your level of artistic genius is on par with the great Masters
Thank you for the nice comment, Jane.
Wow! Rojas' work is incredible.....a different level, just inspirational.
Thank you for the kind words, Jonathan.
you are a living legend Rojas ! saludos !
Thank you. These 87 models remain on display at the beautiful Museo Naval de la Nación (Naval Museum of the Nation), Argentina. Very far from here, my friend!
Holy moly the detail in this is amazing nice job!!!!!!!
After many years I answer you now because I just found your message. This is because I've started using the youtube Studio beta and I have found many messages from years ago that I have never seen before. Thank you.
Buenoo,,,, es realmente espectacular trabajo,,de manos magicas que sacan de una plancha de aluminio cosas que maravillan a chicos y grandes por iguall,,, como no podia ser de otra manera,,, ademas me traen nostalgias de cuando los vi por primera vez,, alla hace algunos añoss,,,muchas gracias por ponerlos a disposicion de todos los amantes de la aviacion .. un gran saludo.
Guillermo.
Beautiful, as usual. I think you should consider making a book of photographs of your models.
Thank you. I'm about to finish the Zero. Then I will devote full time to finish my first tutorial DVD.
Outstanding. The most beautifully intricate master pieces I have ever seen. Truly awe inspiring...
Thank you, sir; I really appreciate your comments.
Um grande artista, parabéns pelo seu trabalho.
Muito obrigado, Eduardo.
Jaime, muchas gracias por tus palabras. Yo tampoco podría hacer todo lo que tú haces. Cuando termine el modelo que estoy construyendo ahora (A6M2 Zero) me dedicaré exclusivamente por unos meses a hacer mi primer video tutorial. De esa manera voy a poder transmitir todo lo que aprendí a través de tantos años como modelista profesional.
Beautiful just beautiful work
Thank you, Alf!
Thank you for your kind comment!
Brilliant work. You are a true artist. You must have many thousands of hours invested in these models.
Love the music in your Video and the Model Wow
now I have to take all my little guillows models that I've built down from the ceiling and burn them. thanks a lot.
absolutely stunning modelling, thank you for sharing your work with us.
Shelby, although I started to assemble plastic kits in my boyhood, soon I devoted myself to construct my own models in cardboard.
In my teens I switched to the Guillows models. That was a fundamental change for me; I was fascinated by the internal construction of airplanes. Over the years I switched from wood to the all-aluminum construction. Thank you for your comment.
Bwahahaha...me too!!! (The part about crashing all my models)
@HackerGuitarist
Thank you for your kind comment! I started building model airplanes in paper as a child. Over the years switched to aluminim and developed my own techniques.
Mr. Bazan you are an artist! ;)
You are welcome and thank you for your excellent videos and models you've built.
Extraordinary! Keep up the fantastic work!
Thank you, David.
You never cease to amaze me Mr Bazan. You are a master of your profession..:-)
Amazing P-40 engine work freaking amazing
Thank you, Steve.
.I'm a model maker, and have been for over 60 years and when I look at these . I think how the hell did he do that !!!! fantastic workmanship !
Thank you, sir!
@frontenginedragsterd
Thank you, I appreciate the kind words.
Unbelievable craftsmanship! It's truly world class.
Thank you, Wylde.
@351xb1973
Thank you for your kind comment. Build this collection of 87 models in !/40 scale took four years. The P-40 built in scale 1/15 took a year.
La exquisitez de tus modelos estan más alla de lo asombroso. Se agradece la experiencia de poder verlos y verte trabajar en cada detelle, anque mas no sea a traves de youtube. Saludos y gracias desde Uruguay.
Gracias Carlos. Esos modelos en 1:40 (que yo considero "experimentales" porque aprendí a medida que los construía), siguen estando en el Museo Naval, aunque la colección termina con los modelos de Malvinas. Es decir nunca fue actualizada porque increíblemente el museo no encontró un modelista que pueda trabajar totalmente en scratch (la escala 1:40 no permite siquiera hacer kit bashing). Alguien agregó unos modelos de plástico en escala 1:32 -creo-, pero eso ha roto la armonía de la vitrina. Lo más curioso de estos modelos es que los pinté a pulmón (literalmente), es decir utilicé un pulverizador para pintar soplando; no tenía dinero para comprar ni compresor ni aerógrafo. Eran tiempos difíciles, aunque eso me ayudó a buscar caminos alternativos al modelismo clásico. Saludos.
An Amazing collection... Beautiful Planes.. :-))
Thank you, my friend.
@@rojasbazan You are most welcome. :-))
Very inspiring
Hola tocayo, gracias por los comentarios. Espero que algún día puedas dedicarte a ese proyecto.
Wow! your videos are inspiring! I wish I had the time.
Caballero, me quite el sombrero al ver su passion en la mano de obra que usted ejecuta al have eso's trabajos tan detallados.....wow...👽👍
Muchas gracias por su comentario, señor.
@38dragoon38
Thank you for your kind comments. There are some people in your country who work very well in full sized cockpits (perhaps do not need to win the lottery to hire someone).
Hola tocayo Guillermo, varios de esos modelos no están en perfecto estado porque fueron utilizados durante más de 22 años en distintas exposiciones a través del país. Recuerdo cuando los hice, el problema que significaba la falta de información (tiempos sin Internet ni libros de ¨walkaround¨). Fue el Instituto Aeronaval quien encargó, supervisó y donó esta colección.
I don't know why I bother making model kits when you have this level of mastery......no I know its defeatist but c'mon. Seriously though, this is inspiring. Amazing work Rojas.
Jonathan, thank you for the comment; that's quite kind of you.
Muito obrigado, amigo!
Thank you, Henry.
@stig99914
I appreciate the kind words!
Fecking stunning. thumbs up!
Thank you, sir.
Hi Rojas, I was wondering if you ever plan to write a book describing your methods? Your work is incredible and I would love to know how it is possible to create such intricacy and complexity with just hand tools.
Richard, when my current model under construction (B-24 Liberator) is finished, I'll continue with the "Tutorial Kit", a combo of video, booklet and aluminum parts (ribs, stringers, panels, curved cowls, etc.). The "Tutorial Kit" will be ideal for modelers who want to have access to my techniques soon without having to wait any longer until I can present a more complete and in-depth tutorial.
@@rojasbazan Many thanks Guillermo, that is truly exciting news. I have started scratch building aircraft using styrene, wood and a few aluminium and brass parts but am bewildered by how you achieve such intricacy and precision. I will be buying one of your tutorial kits!
I would buy that book. And I don't even build models any more.
I have seen other of this gentleman's work. If he isn't the worlds best model aircraft maker , is one of the top five !
+welshpete12
Thank you, sir!
Wow
Hello CapLagos, thanks for this new visit.
I'm impressed, a truly wonderful reproduction!
Thank you, sir!
Could one dare say, the Rembrandt of miniature aviation.
Ha, some other modelers are going to feel jealous of you comment. For my part, thank you, sir.
Guillermo,
Soy fan tuyo, excelentes tus trabajos. Hace unos meses te mandé un correo para hacer un Kingfisher y me diste tus mejores recomendaciones. Aún está pendiente el proyecto pero de que lo haré, es un propósito.
Gracias por compartir tus conocimientos.
increible mayor merito entonces por lo que hiciste. un abrazo grande
@CapLAGOS
Danke schön, Cap!
@nachogranatemalvarg
Muchas gracias Nacho, saludos a Lanús y a todos los granates!
Thank you, Roger, I really appreciate your kind comment.
SR. BAZAN: SEU TRABALHO CHEGA A SER INACREDITÁVEL!!! POR FAVOR, ACEITE MEUS PARABÉNS. NÃO CANSO DE APRECIAR CADA UM DELES, EM SEU SITE. SALUDOS DESDE CURITIBA, BRASIL. UM FORTE ABRAÇO!
Amazing 😻
Thank you, Ivan.
HOW?! How can one derive realistic looking features like that? Cool cat. Love it. Back to the insanity. What is up with creating that super detail on the engine? Egad, my head is starting to ache.
Hello Daniel, I'll try to teach in the best possible way how I build these detailed models. I already started working on my first DVD tutorial, It will be a difficult task, but I hope it will be useful. Thank you for watching.
@@rojasbazan YES, We want that!!! :) I am waiting for a long time!! You are amazing and I can't wait to see how you work with metal!
@LampoNero
Grazie!
Simply astonishing.
Tommy, thank you for watching.
Most amazing work I see on U. Tube
Thank you, Joe.
@moeee48
Gracias, amigo. Esos fueron mis primeros modelos en metal, y los considero ¨experimentales¨. A comienzo de los 80s, sin internet y sin libros de ¨walkround¨, era muy difícil conseguir buena información para hacer modelos. Muchos de esos modelos fueron construidos utilizando solamente dibujos muy simples de tres vistas del Jane. Saludos
oh God.this is truely unbelievable
+akhil shriram
Thank you, Akhil.
Espectacular trabajo guillermo.Recien cuando vi la placa con tu nombre en el museo naval de tigre me di cuenta de quien eras por eso en un video anterior te comente en ingles y no en castellano.Repito:espectacular trabajo guillermo realmente tenes un don!!.Saludos desde Lanus,Argentina.
Un abrazo para tí
increible... si lo hiciste solo con tres vistas es una locura de trabajo... cuando sea grande quiero ser como vos jeje. un abrazo bien grande.
greetings from Germany
Thank you, Richard, I appreciate your comment.
The title is right. These models belong in a museum.
Yes. Thank you for watching.
Thank you, Sir, I appreciate your comment.
@wkanost
Thank you!
I really appreciate all your comments, thank you again!
one day when i win the lotto, sign me up for a spit or mosquito, your work is mind numbingly incredible
Thanks for watching my videos, Craig. I'll upload a new video soon; 1:20 B-24 Liberator, Part 1.
Beautifully built! You need to write a book or a video showing how u do this.
Thank you Chris, and send my regards to the friends of LEMB. I have several projects for the next three years that include a lot of German planes; Fw190A, Fw190D, Bf109B (Jumo engine), Ju86 and Ju87Anton in 1/24 scale (the idea of working in smallers scales is to build more models in less time as I did in my old days). Possibly also build some models in 1/32; He111, Ju88, Do17, He70 and He51. And finally one ¨big¨ model in the ¨little¨ 1/72 scale; the giant Junkers G38.
@viggencwb
Muito obrigado, amigo!
Actually i would say the Michelangelo of miniature aircraft.
Thank you for the compliment, Bill.
Jeez! There's so much detail in this thing you might as well have made it into a fully flyable aircraft!!
RC models have real engines that do not represent the original in scale; did you see any RC with an Allison like the one shown here? Or a RC Stuka with the Jumo in scale or a RC Corsair with the engine in perfect scale? Also this model is built in aluminum and in 1:16 scale, it could never fly due to the weight (due to the details, of course). I prefer to build scale models.
@@rojasbazan Ueah, im not too familiar with RC models. Just plastic kits. Anyway, your work is awesome!
cooooññño, no other words but very. Impressive art...
Ole, thank you for the comment!
Eu pagaria mais um modelo de RojasBazan a qualquer peça do Museu de "Arte Moderna", isto sim é arte, pois encanta e trás admiração, há muitos anos ví outro modelos FW190d9 altamente detalhado.
Muito obrigado, Paulo. Entre enero y febrero voy a subir a youtube dos nuevos videos en HD mostrando mi último modelo; un Ju87 B1 en escala 1:16 con muchísimos más detalles que mi viejo Fw190D. En mi opinión el Stuka es mi mejor modelo.
@@rojasbazan Aguardo com muito intersse!
Thank you. I´m working on my first DVD tutorial to teach my techniques and tips.
rojasbazan.. hello Sir. just hope it goes out early. I really marveled at your creations. God bless you and your family Sir.

Thank you, David!
Hello,Your Art-Models are Reference-Class Category ,and are beyond everything i've ever seen ....
Nice Camera work too ,have You a Book ?I deffinitely buy one
Sir, I just found this message after so many years. This is because I started using the youtube Studio beta and found many messages from years ago that I have never seen before. I have ready in 90% my first e-book. It's quite possible that I'll finish it and publish it in 2020. That'll help until I can edit the DVD. Thank you.
Find a Human the right size an it.ll go...I don't know how you do what you do ,but its incredible workmanship..
Thank you for watching all my videos, sir!
Perfekt.
Thank you, sir.
es el Museo Naval de la Nación, Tigre, Provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Inspirational but un-achievable by us mere mortals.
Thanks for watching, sir.
Damn good work! This needs to be filmed again with an HD camera, and slower panning.
Sir, the P-40 was sold by Fine Art Models twenty years ago and I don't know who is the current owner, so it is impossible to remake the video in better resolution (the same happens with my other models filmed during the 90s; B-17, F4U, P-51, P-38, Spitfire, B-25, Messerschmitt Bf109, Bf110, 262 , Fw190s, etc, etc).

Thank you for watching
@@rojasbazan HD has spoiled us with hi-rez. The video of the P-40 is better than none at all. Thanks for the reply.
Thank you for your kind comments. My new video HD on the A6M2 Zero has professional quality.
Espectacular! Has hecho modelos de la Fabrica Militar de Aviones de Córdoba? Un saludo!
Estimado amigo; hice varios modelos de la FMA de Córdoba: de los autóctonos construí los siguientes: AeC.2, I.Ae. DL 22, IA 50 Guaraní II, IA 58 Pucará (10 modelos) y el IA 63 Pampa. De los construidos bajo licencia por la FMA hice el Dewoitine D.21 (tres modelos) y el Curtiss Hawk H-75O. En mi página web en el link "Models" están las fotos de todos los modelos que construí durante más de 30 años y la lista cronológica. Saludos cordiales.
