+X RAY 83 Posted July 9, 2010 Yesterday my father passed away after a long disease that took 5 years of his life away. Some of you knows about it. I want dedicate him this post,with a pic of my last WIP that is dedicate to him and to one of his favourite plane. That's because he introduced me loving aviation since I was a little kid. He was passing nights asleep in building me models. The most loved was an 1/48th YF-12A. He was the one that brings me on my 1st air show in Aviano AFB,or during bike rides in summer afternoons waiting planes taking off or landing. Now he's in the sky higher where none plane can bring him. He will be my best co-pilot or sentry ever. Bye Dad! Joining this site for me is remember him everyday since 2 years ago. So I'll never give up,he gives me the strenght to carry on and In every work of mine there will be a part of him ever! He was my "ICHI BAN" that meaning NUMBER ONE in japanese.
