- 1:15 Scale. Model Engineering. One-Off Aluminum Models. B-25, P-38, Fw190. 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:

can a man live long enough to build models of such fine detail?
Don, the curious thing is that I started building models as a professional model maker when I was 33 years old (obviously f I had started ten years earlier, I would have had many more models built). I am currently building a huge B-24 in 1:20 scale. Thank you for the comment.
The B-25 Mitchell has the most beautiful dimensions. Muscular yet elegant at the same time. Magnificent Mr. Guillermo.
I agree completely. Thanks for your message, sir.
I could spend an entire day just staring at the detail you have in your models. You certainly are the standard by which other modelers would be measured. Unbelievable.
The P-38 is my favorite prop driven fighter and you really bring it to life with your model. I believe I have more than average patience for most things, but I'm sure this would be more than I could do alone. You are a true artist and master craftsman. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Troy, thank you for the comment. This old VHS video is the only material I have on these models. Unfortunately the models were sold by the owner of Fine Art Models to a collector living in Malaysia. Among my next projects is editing some HD videos using the best photos I have of all those models (including the F4U and the B-17) that are on my old VHS videos.
@rojasbazan thank you for the reply. I would really like to see that project when it's complete! Thanks again and take care.
THE DETAIL BLOWS ME AWAY! i HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH WORKMANSHIP IN MODEL AIRPLANES.
Thank you for the kind comment, Charlotte.
Without a doubt, Rojas is the absolute best modeler in the WHOLE world! His models are almost more real than the real ones. Even his dioramas are amazing, love those maintenance stands used to hold fuselages! I'd swear if we looked really, really close, we'd see bug smashes on the windscreens.
Charles, as you can imagine, I am very thankful for your kindly comment. And thank you as well for watching all my videos (in a few months I'll upload my new video on the Ju87 B1).
🤩Brilliant
Thank you, sir.
I've never seen models like these. I never imagined anything so cool ,just AWESOME talent. Perfection
Sir, thank you for the comment. In two months I'll upload my new HD video about my last model, a Ju8 7B1.
As usual I am thrilled with your work. My father was aero engine mechanic, RAF, 1937-1945. RCAF Reserve 1949, 1965. I saw the vintage planes he helped maintain at the Heritage Museum at Mount Hope. Spitfire, Mustang, Lancaster, Texan trainer. He would be so happy to see your planes.
John, someone said that my models are a tribute to people who in one way or another have had some relationship with these beautiful machines. That is, for people like your dear father. Thank you for your special comment.
Thank you.
I think that you either saw all my videos nor visited my website; I built three P-51 Mustangs; one in version B and two in version D (I uploaded to youtube 13 videos on my models. One of them is about the P-51, Spitfire and other models).
I never built a B-29. That depends on the orders of the clientes. Thank you for watching!
wow ... I have never seen such detailed models of true works of art
Thank you for the kind comment, Jerry.
I just saw your video showing the P-51B and P-51D Mustangs you built and they are works of art. You did an excellent job building these as well as the other aircraft you have built.
Where do I start? I can cobble a plastic kit together, paint it, and slap a few decals on it and call it a model, but you sir are a true modeler. Your projects are nothing short of awesome.
Thank goodness for youtube or I could never see these masterpieces from New Zealand. Absolutely incredible!
rojas iam 17yr ugandan teen . but your work makes me think you are the next davinch .
Thank you for the nice comment, Mande.
Truely fascinating to watch your builds 👍
Thank you, Roni. In total I uploaded 15 videos. Many of these models were built between 1994 and 1999 and were recorded using VHS camcorders, therefore those videos don't have good definition. In the coming months I will edit several new HD videos showing my vintage best models -B-17, F4U, SBD-3, P-40, Bf109, Bf110 and Fw190- using the best photographs I have (I can't record these models again because they've been sold many years ago).
Mister Rojas,you are a Magician!
Truly stunning work!
Thank you, sir.
I made a mistake in the account on the P-51; I built one B and three in the version D (I forgot ¨Big Beautiful Doll¨).
Excellent!!! 3 masterpieces from a true master!!!
I'm completly flashed! RESPECT!!!! Greetings from Germany
Danke schön! Thank you, sir.
Absolutely amazing all hand made, I never thought anything like that could be done so well. I can't stop looking. Thanks for sharing it.
Thank you for your nice comment, David.
More masterpieces from the Master!!
You are the best model builder ever made.
Thank you, Paulo. Anyway there are excellent artisans who build 100% in scratch, especially in the ship and car modeling areas.
I built the 1/15 P-38 in approximately four months, but this was 18 years ago when I worked with fewer details and my models were more ¨spartans¨. To make a P-38 in the same scale and using my current techniques and quality, it would take me two years.
Yes, I am working on the tutorial video at the same time that I am building the A6M2 Zero.
I declare that these aircraft are " Combat Ready " . Thank you .
Thank you, Paul.
Thank you for your kind comment!
The Mitchell is incredible! I build mostly ships right now, can't wait to build airplanes!
Your work is nothing short of amazing. A true artist.
Thank you, sir.
Thumbs Up. Two of my favorite WWII aircraft.
Outstanding work.
Outstanding craftsmanship!!! Thanks so much for sharing!!
Thank you, Randal.
Thank you my friend!
Even the amount of "rivet-pucker" is scaled, according to skin thickness and load-bearing stress. That must require a precise control of fastener pressure.
The finer the detail, the greater the skill is revealed, by orders of magnitude, for how it was created!
Thanks for the comment.There are many modellers who don't quite understand the rivets issue. In addition to the pressure, it is important to make rivet by rivet by hand without using riveting tools.The best way to learn this is to observe and study very well the riveting in real airplanes.
I can't wait for your DVD to be finished. I will buy one right away. I want to build Vietnam era jets like this, especially a F-4 Phantom ..
Sir, after all these years I answer because I just found your message. This is because I started using the youtube Studio beta and found many messages from years ago that I have never seen before. It is very difficult for me to edit my first DVD tutorial now because the work I have does not leave me time, but I have ready in 90% a book. It's quite possible that I'll finish it and publish it in 2020. That'll help until I can edit the DVD. In a couple of months I'm going to upload two new videos about my latest model, a Ju 87 B1 Stuka.Thank you.
Thank you.
Perfect! true works of engineering art!
A testament to WW 2 aviation history . Thank you .
Paul, thank you again for your comments!
Thank you, Sir!
I´m working on my first DVD tutorial to teach my techniques and tips. Maybe that helps you.
Arte, verdadero arte!
Muchas gracias, Carlos.
Beautiful, just incredible creativity!

Thank you for your kind comment, Aaron.
@joolsthesteam
Thank you, my friend!
Absolument magnifique
This video is very old and this model, along with my first models, was sold by Fine Art Models to a collector who lives outside the country (I think in Malaysia). That's why I hope to upload new videos showing the best photographs of all of them. Thank you for watching and the comments, sir.
omg GREAT work!!!
Thankyou....truly inspiring.
Astonishing as always. You really do have an extraordinary gift :0)
@CheckMySix
Thank you so much for your kind comments, Keith. I´m just a professional artisan making models the old-fashioned way.
Unglaublich,welch grossartige Arbeit.
Meinen Respekt !
Vielen Dank!
Thank you for your comment!
The 25s with the short stacks were deafening. Then those fifty’s even louder.
The turbos on the 38 served as mufflers fo surprisingly low noise. Windshield frost was a problem in some climates.
Thank you, Bill.
I really appreciate your comment!
@robinsareolas
Thank you for your kind comment.
Two more masterpieces from the master! Your models are beyond belief and truly works of art! Thank you for sharing your talent with the world! Have you ever considered making a B-29 Superfortress or even a P-51D Mustang?
Thank you for your comment.
I see you have the strengthening panels at the muzzles of the side .50cal guns. Without the extra strengthening panels the standard aluminium panels would ripple and fracture during firing. Fantastic work again.👍👍
Thank you for the message, sir. This was an "experimental" model; I built it in three months during 1995. Today, to build a similar model, I would need two years of work because my techniques have changed a lot.
All the words i come up with to describe this model fall way short. Words like amazing ,impressive, wow! Yep ,they just fall short.
Thank you for your comment, sir.
O que difere Rojas de todos outros artistas é o fato dele ser único, não há nenhum outro que tenha atingido tamanha perfeição e no futuro essas obras serão disputadas nos grandes leilões.
Muito obrigado pelo comentário, Paulo. Lamentablemente la gran mayoría de los modelistas actuales solamente trabajan utilizando kits de plástico y accesorios comerciales y no tienen idea de cómo construir modelos desde cero y en metal. Pero siempre aparecen modelistas con aspiraciones distintas. De alguna manera estoy tratando de ayudarlos; por ahora con estos videos motivacionales, pero dentro de muy poco con una serie de tutoriales.
One incredible talent.
Thank you for the comment, Mike
@carloshugo3131
Hola Carlos Hugo, en los próximos días subiré dos videos más, mostrando varios de los modelos que hicen en los años 80s. Lamentablemente de esos modelos solo quedaron algunas viejas fotos nada más, pues por entonces no tenía dinero para filmar y las cámaras digitales no existían. De cualquier manera a mitad de año subiré mi primer video HD y en eso estoy trabajando.
good job
Thank you, sir
Creative genius!
Thank you, sir.
@muni86
Danke sehr!
Hi rojasbazan
BEAUTIFUL work as usual Buddy.
Where do you manage to get enough Hours in the day to make these MAGNIFICENT Machines?
You are with out a doubt the BEST model maker in the WORLD... EVER.
KEEP UP the Great work.
Respect
Keith :-)
Guillermo: un trabajo fantástico. Saludos
Muchas gracias, amigo. De cualquier son trabajos muy antiguos. Mis últimos modelos (OS2U Kingfisher, Junkers G24, A6M2 Zero, Curtiss Goshawk y Ju 87 B-1) son muy superiores.
Estimado Guillermo; he visto tu evolución. "La práctica hace al maestro". Saludos desde Bahia Inglesa en el Desierto de Atacama.
Just astonishing
Thank you, Sir.
Hey could you make a smaller one and put it on ebay cuz I want one so bad and do you sell yours in general?
Mind...boggled.
Thank you, Tommy.
Para hacer justicia a lo visto,no hay comentarios que lo puedan describir tan siquiera.
Muchas gracias , Claudio por tus palabras.
Amazing work on the B-25 as you do in all your Models.Can i ask you how to made the Windows for your models and looked so clean?I made also some vacuform models and i would like some tips.
is very very nice
Thank you, Alessandro.
My website address is on my 12 youtube videos. I do not show exactly how to build my models (I leave that for my first video tutorial that I am preparing) but some links (OS2U, Bf110, P-40, B-17, F4U, etc) show a lot of photos of the construction sequence.
Золотые руки!!!
Thank you for the comment, sir.
Могли бы Вы сделать какой нибудь советский самолет WW2 ?
gracias!
amazing
Thank you!
I love the armour plate to protect the pilot
Thank you, sir.
wow, what a master
Thank you!
your talent amazes me
earni Last Thank you!
Looking at the B-17 & the B-25 together make them look different scales? I see the title lists them as 1:15, but the B-17 isn't on the list, so maybe that is why. Just curious as to what scale the B-17 & the Corsair are? Magnificent machines!
In my channel there are 15 videos uploaded, and one of them is on the B-17 (my most seen video). What confuses you is the perspective of the photo; the table where are exhibited both models is enormous (about 12 feet long).
Utterly fascinating models. What an incredible talent. Thanks Rojas for your contribution to the history of aviation as well as the hobby of scale modeling. I noticed the A6M Zero video that was uploaded about a year ago. Are you working on anything currently? I will definitely be on the look out for more of your projects.
Thank you, my friend. Still I am working on the Zero and my first tutorial DVD. My next project is the construction of a small number of Fw190 (A and D version) in 1:24 scale.
I AM STILL FINDING THIS DIFFICULT TO COMPREHEND,, TO GET THE OUTSIDES AS GOOD AS YOU HAVE IS UNBELIEVABLE,,
BUT THE INSIDES AND STRUCTURE,,,,,,,,, I JUST NEVER THOUGHT IT POSSIBLE
UNTIL NOW,,,,,,,
Thank you, David, for all your kind comments.
Up close, they look real!
In a couple f months I'll upload a new video about the B-25 using my best photos about the model because this video is not HD and was recorded during the early 90s using the technology of the time. Thank you for the comment.
@@rojasbazan Do you seriously build all of these?
Excelente trabajo.Impresionante.Te invito a que visites mi página

Gracias Miguel Angel. Estuve viendo algunos de tus trabajos; eres un genio en todo lo que haces, todo está perfecto. Sin palabras...,realmente te felicito.
Estoy por terminar el Zero (llevo un atraso de tres años por varias causas) y enseguida que lo entregue me voy a comunicar contigo para charlar más distendido. Saludos cordiales, Guillermo
How do you bend the metal sheets to exactly look like the real thing
I will explain my techniques in my video tutorial, which I hope to do next year.
Massive!!!
Thank you, Vini.
Amazing
Thank you, sir.
Thank you, sir.
Your quite welcome Sir....have you done a B17 yet? Or any modern fighters? Ive watched these over and over again.
Sir, I built a B-17 in scale 1:15. The video is on this same channel. I also built a Y1B-17 in scale 1:24. Please visit my website, where you will find the list and photos of more than 200 models I have built over 30 years. Thank you for watching.
Dude how much are they cuz I want to buy one so bad!!!
My Master.
Thank you, Paulo.
I appreciate all your comments. Thank you, Paulo.
I had a question as to how many parts were movable. That question was answered in the last five seconds. The landing gear struts looked as though you built them with hydraulic properties. Incredible detail. I hope you have a pilot license, as much as you love airplanes.
Charles, some of my models are engineering models; they have many movable elements; folding wings (Corsair, Devastator and Hellcat models) propellers, ailerons, flaps, slots, elevators, rudders and also many removable parts: cowlings, radio, armament and inspection hatches. Many have all the corresponding lights. Some of my Spitfires and Bf109s also has retractable landing gear and even stabilizer incidence movement). Thank you for watching my videos!
rojasbazan -Yes, I did notice the lights that were installed to actually come on. Now, you tell me that even the cowl flaps work. That is some detail. Thank you for taking the time to answer even though I did not expect it.
Yes, I made the cowl flaps movables in some models. I also built some bombers with rotation and elevation gun turrets. Anyway my current model in construction (Ju87 B1) will be my last engineering model forever because I'll stop building them because this kind of so complicated models takes me up to two years of work and makes me lose a lot of money because nobody can pay what really they are worth. From now on and until I retire I'll build again simpler models and in smaller scales to lower construction times and prices. Thank you for watching.
@@rojasbazan It saddens me to hear you say you are not going to build these magnificent representations any more.. I don't build anything like yours but I do work on HO scale locomotives, (nothing like your exquisite models) and I know what you mean about making money at it. Gob bless.
@tenka45623
Please stay calm, Tenka. Thank you!
Thank you. If you want and can, start to build airplane models now.
Thats the planes of Little Arthur from Terry Pratchetts Disk World
Thank you for watching, Andreas.
Wow .....
Hello Jan, thank you again.
I got a question..what powered the prop? an electric motor?
Yes, a small electric motor inside the engine model.
All we need now is to genetically engineer some human beings to be that size scale when they reach adulthood and you'll have pilots.
Thank you for the comments, sir.
at what price
