B-25 in Service with the Peruvian Air Force

My dad is next to a B-25 of the Peruvian Air Force.

I decided to build a model of the B-25 bomber in service with the Peruvian Air Force. I had a few references and an old Monogram Snaptite model kit, level 1, on a scale of 1/72. I painted the model silver and retouched the surfaces using aluminum foil and a #2 pencil. I also added some weathering effects. I made the decals using inkjet waterslide paper. 

I reproduced the insignia of the plane based on a picture of my dad, Major General (R) Oscar G. Gagliardi Kindlimann, which was taken back in the 1950s next to the B-25 Bomber. My dad also provided me with the official specifications of the location of the markings on the plane. Here are a few pictures of the references and the finished model.
