excellent job Martin. The base is really nice and the model stunning! Cheers Alex

Hi Chris Nice model of a beautiful aircraft. The magazine weathering aircraft from Ammo of Mig published an article a while ago about the chipping on an old turkish F-100. It was amazing. Perhaps you could look at it for additional info, if you would like. Cheers Alex

Thanks James appreciated.

That is just stunning. What a beautiful model, could be a picture of the real thing in a museum. Congratulations. Hats off to you Mark! Cheers Alex

That is one nice beast Gary, well done. I used to like big shiny decals but had my share of FUBARs so I am more into delicate subtle decalling now. Great job! Cheers Alex

Very nice Job Mark. But what about the planes? Your little AN-124, how is that coming along? Cheers Alex

Nice work Gary! Those Zekes were beautiful as a Samurai Sword. You are going for the Akagi camo? Cheers Alex

Anytime! I don't know much but I am happy to share the little I know. Not much progress but the base colour is in. That is the Grigio Mimetico (FS 36231) undersides and Nocciola Chiaro 4 (FS 30219) oversides. The camo will be finished with Verde Oliva Scuro 2 (FS 34052) in a continuos line all...

Would like to be my patient? I would love to operate listening to Broadway tunes. Get well and if there are any questions I can help you with please feel free to ask. Cheers Alex

That is a nice base Martin. with weathering will even better. Gruß, Alex

That looks really cool. Looking forward to your build. Cheers Alex

Thanks a lot guys, appreciated. Those are not gallon drums. Those are the bomb holders in the bomb bay of the Sparviero. It used the same system as the Heinkel He-111 with vertically suspended bombs (5 x 250kg). Not a very impressive payload.... Eventually these "drums" were changed into an...

Thanks Eric. Much appreciated. I love working on those PE Details in 1/72. Somehow it relaxes me. Cheers Alex

You will. in due time. Will finish the Sparviero first.

Hi everyone, my addition to the campaign will be two little FIAT biplanes which were used (believe it or not) as night fighters in the defense of Sicily in 1940 and Rome in 1943. I can only imagine the courage of an Italian pilot sitting in his open cockpit at night, no radio, no radar, trying...

Hello all, The Regia Aeronautica (Italian Air Force until 1943) was involved in a minor way in the Russian front from 1941, suffering badly from the weather conditions (open cockpits in the Russian winter...🥶🥶🥶) and lack of spare parts or winter camouflage. In any case, the Italian...

Beautiful. Looks like a surgical instrument. Well done! Alex

Hi friends, Sorry I have been AWOL for a while now. Corona has picked up again in Germany and only now we are seeing some results of the vaccinations... No time for the bench until last weekend. In any case, some progress in the Sparviero. I simply love these airplanes - I wish I could have...

Hi all Time to start a new project. This is another aircraft from the Vigna di Valle Museum in Rome, this time the Sparviero SM.79. The aircraft was one of 4 delivered to the Lebanese Air Force after the war, and returned to Italy in the 50's. Two of them are in Museums, one in the original...

Hi there Just arrived. The new issue of Italeri's 1/72 Macchi Mc.202 Folgore. It is the same kit but new decals, and somewhat better details. Got a few to keep me going in the next few weeks. Cheers Alex
