Thanks a lot. I appreciate your comments a lot. It is a classic cliche of making a lemonade of the lemons. I am always trying new things with the brushes and who knows, someday it might look similar to the airbrush after all. There has been some small progress on the Mc.202 with assembly and...

Congratulations on your build. beautiful and sharp. Cheers Alex

That is very nice! I love the detailing. I actually live only 15km away from the site of the Me 262 first flight (Laupheim AB in Bavaria). I wish they had kept one as a memorial there.. Cheers Alex

Well, he lived in Berlin... One must always consider all possibilities... Your diorama is already amazing and I am sure the ending will be stunning. Cheers Alex

Thanks guys, appreciated. I really like building these little buggers. they are such an anachronism, first flight in the same year of the P-38 and FW 190! Still, they performed as well as they could given the circumstances and were absolutely excellent for aerobatics. This is a little...

@Heavens Eagle: That is some model Paul! must be gigantic. You would have the opportunity to work it down to the wires... I am sure you would make an amazing Sparviero. I am Italian albeit born and raised in Brazil (from one side); from my father's side I am 1/2 German, 1/4 Portuguese and 1/4...

Thanks a lot Jon and Dave, much appreciated. @Duke Maddog: Mark, it is a pleasure to read your comments you are always so supportive. I am an Italian citizen, my family is originally from the Veneto, so I am passionate about all things Italian. I guess in a way I try to show people that the...

Exactly what I thought. An Arctic mission for the Bismarck. What an exquisite work. Well done. Cheers Alex

Good to hear you are on the mend. Pneumonias are hell regardless of age. Hope you feel better. What a nice model. So crisp, such nice painting. Well done! Cheers Alex

I think 1/72 SU-27 and SU-35 kits are WAY to big. I wouldn't dare touching this monster. That being said, what a nice work. And what a gorgeous picture in the beginning. Thanks for sharing. Cheers Alex

Planes, where are the planes... give us some aircraft, Mark! Cheers Alex

Thanks guys, much appreciated. I am actually very proud of this one. I reckon it is one of my best ones (which is not much but still), and the painting was a challenge on itself. I will keep experimenting with these crazy Italian camos, my goal is to eventually reach an "airbrush-like" finish...

Thanks a lot guys! @paddy Bob has said it - airbrushes are deadly for me. With paint brushing I can handle the fumes by using only acrylic, water-based solvents. Resin work only "under water" also, so it is complicated. I would love to be able to use an airbrush... @Heavens Eagle: Paul, i can...

Thanks master. I am quite happy with the result, specially when you look at the real model - it looks quite similar in my opinion. Cheers Alex

Just saw this thread now. Happy belated birthday James! Alex

Thanks guys much appreciated. Work is slow in this one since I am concentrating on the other projects. In any case here is a slow progress in the wheel bay and on the accessories for the diorama. Cheers Alex

After a bit of delay, the bird is ready. I am quite pleased with the result. I hope you agree. Thanks for looking. Cheers Alex

Thanks guys! @Duke Maddog Indeed I would recommend. It is such a pleasure to build one @Rhino: Mille Grazie. Si io preferisco la Birra... Thanks a lot.

Thanks all of you, Sorry I was AWOL again. A lot going on at the hospital as usual. Well, I already began this project and it has been very pleasurable. The CR.32 will have to wait a bit since I thought that I had another Eduard PE Sheet but I did not - it was hard to find one, eventually I...

Thanks everyone. Well, it cost me a lot of time, sweat and beer to get the wriggles all completed. Mind you, it is one single line from beginning to end of the aircraft, just like the real one (in the picture). As soon as I recover I will move on to decals and the last adjustments. Cheers and...
