Black AlbaDora in Spanish Air Tercios

(1/6) > >>

ysi_maniac:
This project/concept dates from more than 5 years ago http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,14387.0.html but model is not started yet. I know, I am so lazy!

At the end of this thread a Philippine (from Philip II, not from Philippine Islands) DORA is promised. After years,
that Dora became a Black AlbaDora.



There was a parallel project in this parallel world in our parallel forum http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,21400.0.html

Now a bit of History http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tercio

In this last thread you could see why BLACK:

In this famous painting, Spanish generals are in the right side, wearing black which was fashion in spanish society of the time, deeply marked by religion.

You can also compare dressing in Queen Elizabeth I and King Philip II
