- 1:15 Scale. Model Engineering. One-Off Aluminum Models. 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:

You have truly achieved the ultimate dream of every modeler. You have constructed a true miniature of the full scale plane, down to every rivet. Unbelievable!
Thank you, sir.
I have scratch built large models that had great details, but they look like first grader clay blobs now. Bravo! I would love to see more of how you made all the parts. I am very happy that you have this gift! Who knows how many countries you would have conquered by now if you didn't stay so busy with the models!?
Brian, thank you for the comment. I already started working on my first DVD tutorial a few days ago: I mentioned that in my last video "Ju 87 B-1 part 3". Either way there are many clues to my techniques in several of my videos and in the hundreds of photos uploaded to my website. Watch on my channel the videos about the Zero, the Vought OS2U, or the Stuka (for example), where I show the chronological progress in building my models from start to finish. It is a big help for modelers that have no idea where star. This is a good help for modelers who don't know where to start.
Mr Bazan, Not only you have scratchbuilt a model like I have never seen anyone else do, you than painted it like I have never seen anyone do.
Those positive aluminium rivets give the model amazing reality.
Than the patina... I'm left speachless.
You are the KING!!!
Sir, thank you very much for watching my videos and your comments; I really appreciate that.
He has more hours in these models than some full-size aircraft I have built. Unbelievable craftsmanship and perseverance.
Patrick, thank you for the comment. Yes, it's true; the time I have invested in building my models is tremendous. Comparing, Ford built a B-24 every 60 minutes and I've been working on a 1:20 scale Liberator for two and a half years (full time) and I still haven't finished it!
You built this from scratch? Sir ... allow me to salute you! What a talent you have.
Thank you, sir!
I have seen this many times and some of your other models, your talent is incredible , there is no description that can fit your skills
bucky bowman Thank you, Bucky!
It took me a while to realize this is a model and not pictures of a real aircraft! Amazing!
Thank you, sir.
There are no words Sir! Totally world class craftsmanship!! Bravo!!
Well done!!
Thank you for the comment, Sir!

Hi again,
Your quite welcome!!
My God. Unbelievable.
Unequaled. Master piece.
Thank you Rojas Bazan.
Thank you for the comment, Joe.
Amazing. This isn't like building a model, but basically a real plane, just smaller. Respect for such skill and determination.
Thank you sir. In a couple of months I'll upload my new video about the Ju87 B1, another "engineering model".
To say your work is incredible is a vast understatement.
Thank you, James.
This work of art should be preserved in a museum
Many of my models are in museums but most are in private collections. Thanks for watching.
Literally one of the most amazing things I’ve seen!
Thank you for the comment, Greg.
wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!!! I can sit and watch these videos all night. what a talent
Ted, thank you for watching my videos!
Seriously Sir, your skills are legendary. Thank you for posting!

As other comments, I have just found this after a year (youtube bureaucracy). Thank you for the comment!
Again, I look at this model and it's hard to believe I'm not looking at a full size Aircraft, I just can't imagine how any person can do such detailed exacting work. What a gift you have, thanks for showing this video.
Sir, in these times where all modeling is based on plastic kits and accessories, it is very motivating for those of us who still work by hand to receive messages like yours. Thank you again!
Aristotle, Plato, Leonardo Da Vinci, Rembrandt, Michelangelo, Mozart, Bach…… And now Guillermo Rojas Bazan.
I know it's been a few years since you posted this, but time has not diminished your incredible accomplishments, but merely allowed us to appreciate them even more. Words do no justice. Thank you will have to suffice! Greetings from the USA.
Thom, thank you very much for the comment (people are going to think that you are someone of my family or my best friend, ha ha). I'm about to finish a Ju87 with lots of details, so I'll soon upload the new video. I also live in the USA.
It's been about a year now since I first stumbled across one of your videos, and I can still say with complete confidence that I've yet to see finer workmanship or attention to detail. Thanks for remaking these amazing pieces of history in all their glory!
Guillermo, your workmanship is stunning. Truly, in all respects, you are a consummate artist.
Thank you for the nice comment, Gareth!
Truly beautiful. This is not a model, this is a work of art created by a true master! I am in awe of the detail and can't begin to comprehend the amount of time spent researching and creating this masterpiece. Hats off to you sir!
Thank you, sir. I took a whole year (full time) to build this model.
Rojas- I'm an artist and furniture maker and modeler and blah blah blah. Your work COMPLETELY BLOWS MY MIND. I wish I could even have a dream that I built something like this. You rock!
To simply construct a model kit of this magnitude would be noteworthy. To envision, fabricate, and create a model of this caliber from nothing, is truly astounding! You have an extraordinary gift Guillermo, thank you for sharing your masterful work!
Robert, thanks so much! I really appreciate your comment.
Maxi, gracias por tus palabras y por estar por acá. Espero tus videos y los del Instituto Aeronaval!
This is beyond skill and dedication. Quite amazing.
Thank you, Chris.
Nothing but a top quality museum piece utterly beautiful
Thank you, Barry.
This is 100% legit scale modeling , nothing I have seen in my 40 years compares to your masterpieces!!
Thank you sir, I appreciate your comment.
You sir, are truly amazing! EVERY TIME I watch your videos and look at your work I have to do a double take to make sure it IS a model and NOT the real thing! I am awestruck and astounded at your fantastic skill and attention to the utmost tiniest of details! Please don't ever stop!
Thank you for showing the world your talent and skills!!
This is absolutely incredible !! Amazing crafsmanship !!
Thank you for your kind words, sir!
Truly mind blowing attention to detail. I'm totally speechless!!!
Very many thanks for sharing! I can't wait to see more of your work!
rojasbazan,
Sir, even though this is an old posting, I must say that your work is pure art. I've had an eye toward authenticity all of my life and I've built many models in many different scales with WWII aircraft being my favorite. Your work is the very best that my eyes have ever seen. The weathering effects give your work perfection beyond words. Sir you should be proud, you have a God given gift like no other. I just had to subscribe.
Dear William, thank you so much for sharing your thoughts, I really appreciate it. Guillermo.
rojasbazan, haz llevado el modelo a escala a otra dimension.
Para ti, mi mas profunda admiracion.
The level of detail on this is just off the charts! That's not just a model, but an entire aircraft in miniature scale! Props to you sir!😁👍👍
Thank you, Dan. In two months I'll upload two videos about my new model, a Ju87 B1.
Estimado señor Bazán: Usted no es un genio, ES UN ARTISTA!!!! No alcanzan mis palabras para expresare mi admiración. Simplemente excelente.
Un argentino.
The model is so very, very beautiful. The F4U Corsair is my favourite plane. You are indeed an artisan...a very rare breed of artistic individual. Thank you for making this amazingly beautiful things.
Michael, thank you so much for the kind comment.
My favorite airplane! Thank you for investing your time to do the work and putting this video up. Much appreciated!
Thank you, Paul, I appreciate the kind words!
Ein Meisterwerk! Das Beste, was ich im Modellbau jemals gesehen habe. Allerhöchsten Respekt!!!
Hajü
Bravo. Watching this gives me butterflies in my stomach, realizing that my 40 years of building pale in comparison. Again good sir...BRAVO.
Thank you for watching, Dave.
Your work just made any jaws fall off! 👌
Thank you, Andre.
Wow! 1/15 model all metal working nicely.. Simply amazing!
Thank you, sir.
The acute sense of detail and dedication command my utmost admiration.
Incredible craftmanship. Very well done.
Thank you, sir.
Words fail me, No amount of words can do justice to your patience craftsmanship and dedication. truly stunning and almost impossible to comprehend. You have my upmost respect.
Absolutely stunning. 😳 I have never seen anything like this in my life.
Thank you, Jim. I appreciate your kind comment.
This is nothing short of AMAZING!
Without question Sir, this is the finest (model) I have ever seen. You are Master. I build model ships for a living, 22 years, I'm 58 and I started when I was 5 or 6 and I have never seen such beautiful work. For the rest of my life I will think of your work. Thank you Sir "Master" Thank you. This is the first I have seen of your work.
Thank you, sir. My first models were tall ships (my favorite book was Chapman Architectura Navalis Mercatoria). I started working as a professional model maker at age 30, building model airplanes in metal (that over 30 years ago).
Outstanding! I love the Corsair. I made a model in CGI using MAYA and it includes the cockpit, complete engine, landing gear/bays even animated the gear functions.
You learn a lot about a plane when you build it piece by piece, even in the computer!
Again, outstanding workmanship!
Guillermo, nuevamente felicitandote, eres un MAESTRO!!!!!!!!!!!!! en modelismo estoy maravillado y sin palabras, lo unico que les falta a tus modelos es volar.....!!!!!!!
Wao!!!!!!!!!! Felicidades desde México.
Absolute genius! A work of art of an exceptionally gifted man!
I greatly appreciate your kind words, Ton. Thank you.
You're very welcome Sir!
This is the most amazing model I've ever seen ! I thought I was good scratch building a few things for 1/25 model cars....now I feel embarrassed . I just can't believe the craftsmanship , the attention to detail...ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE....WOW !!
Rob, thank you for the words. In a few days I'll upload new videos about my latest model, a Ju87 B-1 in 1:16 scale, that I consider my best model.
Michelangelo and DaVinci would be jealous.
Just indescribably incredible. Thanks for sharing your talent and technical prowess.
Pete, thank you very much for the nice message.
Señor Guillermo,,,para un modelista no hay peor cosa que haya alguien que haga las cosas mejor que uno,,y para rematar ,, encima que lo muestre,,,,, buenoo,, espectacular,,como ya estamos acostumbrados pero no por eso,, dejar pasar la oportunidad de reconocer la genialidad que has presentado para todos los amantes de la aviacion y el modelismo,,un calido saludo desde Buenos Aires.
Absolutely talented. The details are astonishing.
Thank you for the comment, Eric.
Absolutely Incredible. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, David.
Simply wonderful !
No other words....
Excellent, just excellent work! Thank you for posting your video(s)!
Thank you, Jack!
Just amazing. The attention to detail is staggering.
Thank you, sir.
rojasbazan me too im am a scale modeler, giant scale warbirds...almost 20 years by now..but when i see this.. i feel humble ! i take my hat off for you and make a deep bow!!
Thank you for the kind comment, Jean!
I've always thought the Corsair was one of, if not the most beautiful aircraft of WWII. This model is just incredible in detail and a real treat to look at. Superb.
In that model hangar, I honestly struggled to tell whether you were showing the model or a real one for comparison. amazing work!
This is why I visit your profile! You never fail to amaze with beautiful work, attention to detail and just plain "fun to view"! You do have a great talent and create such excellent examples of old classic aircraft. Very Well Done, Sir!
After looking at your videos and website I've finally figured out how you do it. Magic! Obviously it's just magic!
Although I will never be able to even attempt a feat such as this if you do produce DVD's I would purchase them just for the joy of watching you do what you do. Thank you.
Tu sei semplicemente un genio. Non ho mai visto un livello di dettaglio così alto. Tutti i miei complimenti.
Grazie mille, signore!
C'est absolument MAGNIFIQUE, SUPERBE !
Fantastic as always Guillermo !!!! In awe !!

Astonishing work
Thank you, Robert.
This is mind blowing!
Massive Respect!
I appreciate the kind words, sir.
Absolutely perfect! I havn't seen such detailed work before..... amazing.....👍

Thank you for the comment, sir.
These models are so great, i check you website on a regular basis, and i'am thrilled to see hoe the A6M is coming along!
Thank you for posting this well done
Thank you for watching, Stephen.
you are truly a gifted man. stunning is the word that comes to mind.
Seriously dude, that's just of the charts unbelievably sensational! You deserve every accolade there is.
Wish I had a tenth of your talent and I'd be happy.
Thank you very much for your nice comment, professor.
@@rojasbazan is your book close to being published? I would be first inline Sir.
I have ready half the book, but I need to write the second part, which is the one dedicated to my techniques. I hope to be able to publish it this coming year, although I am very time-tight because of the orders I have to build. I have ready half the book, but I need to write the second part, which is dedicated to my techniques. I hope to be able to publish it next year, although I have little time for that because of the commissions I have to comply with.
No words, just amazing...I build myself glider models, but in front of such a mastering I just can say that you did nearly the impossible.
Congratulations, and as french people say: chapeau !
Amazing level of detail....Dedication.
Thank you, sir.
You my friend are sick! What you have done is extreme art and beyond perfection. Nice job and can’t wait to see what you produce next.
Thank you so much, sir.
You are out of this world. No words, except: beautiful.
thank you, Juan.
Dumbfounded, just.... Amazing. More than an artist, more than a modeler, just a true and pure magician! Thanks for posting!
Thank you so much for the comment!
No puede ser más hermoso este modelo. Felicitaciones al constructor
Muchas gracias Marcelo.
Holy crap, this isn't a model, you built an actual aircraft! I don't know what to say, this is stunning beyond belief!
Sir, I built only 24 models in 1:15 scale, a few in 1:10 and more than 110 models in scale of 1:40 for three museums. I also built several models on scale 1:24. If you want to know the timeline of my work since 1980 please visit my website or the other 13 videos on this channel. Thank you for the comments.
Probably the most detailed and accurate model I've seen in my entire life.. Bravo.
I built this Corsair 25 years ago. My Stuka under construction is superior and in my opinion is the best model I ever built. This is because today I have more experience, I work better and the finishing of my models is superior. In two months I'll upload two videos about this new model. Thank you for the comment, sir.
@@rojasbazan Looking forward to it! Subbed.
I have seen your stuff before. There are not enough superlatives to describe your work so I will simply say ...magnificent sir,
I appreciate your comment, thank you, sir.
Thank you for the comment, sir.
Once again, you have completed another masterful creation.
It is inspiring to a duffer modeler, such as myself, to see what is truly possible señor. Thank You.
AMAZING! What talent, absolutely stunning!!!
flatworm00 Thank you, Sir.
This is the kind of thing I would daydream about doing when I was a kid.
With, of course a grain of salt, believing it to be impossible.
Awesome achievement sir.
Thank you for sharing
Thank you, sir.
WOW! If large scale aircraft plastic modeling was considered as intermediate through advanced, then your work is seems to be very extremely advanced.That detail surpasses anything molded in styrene, great work!
This has to be the greatest scratch build ever, truly amazing.
Thank you, sir!
Can this model be purchased sir?
It was sold in 1995
Superb craftsmanship!
Thank you, Derek.
Jaw dropping! I appreciate the silence. No commentary is needed.
Miles, my first videos have music, but that brought me some copyright issues and advertising saturation. But the point is that I'm trying to visually show my work as much as possible without almost using words (except for some sentences in English and Spanish).I have friends who watch my videos or visit my website and are from Germany, France, Russia, Italy, China and many other countries and do not understand English, so this is something experimental.
@@rojasbazan I understand completely. It's an obvious problem as music may be universal, trying to suit everyone's taste is impossible. On the other hand Silence Is Golden!
breathtaking work! never seen something like this before, congrats!
Thank you, Vivi.
I want one !!!! The time and effort involved with something like this is amazing.
Thank you, Richard.
Holy cow, what a build! And there I have trouble scratch building a basic radio box for a cockpit for a plastic kit! Its amazing theres so many brilliant people in this world that can produce items like this.
+jbvap
Thank you for your kind words!
Rojas, I look at your models here and on your website, and they look like they should taxi, line up for take, call the tower for clearance and off then soar off into the wild blue yonder.
Bravo!
Absolutely the best I've seen!
Thank you for the kind words, sir.
@@rojasbazan I've worked on F-16s, F-15s and F-117s... Your model looks as real as anything I've worked on
The model maker of the century ! I especially like how the trim tabs on the elevators work like the real thing .
welshpete12 Sir, thank you for the very kind comment!
I can explain how this was done...simply pure genius!!!
Thank you, sir.
incredible work! and i thought i was an aircraft geek. truly stunning.
This takes model building to a another level of perfection it's an engineering mmmm! I don't know what to say .it's beautiful.well done sir Respect!
Thank you , Bernard.
WOW! A true masterwork!
Thank you, David.
This corsair is a marvel I hope I could get one
Thank you for your kind comment. I appreciate it very much!
Wow!!!...truly amazing and incredible.
cplcabs Thank you for the comment and for watching my videos.
absolutely incredible. I don't understand how he could make the components without the help of electric powered equipment!
Jim Slaughter I'm going to show that in my tutorial DVD. Thanks for watching.
