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

Sorry if I jumped in and started the topic, but I needed to finish before leaving on vacation. This is my Fiat CR.42 Falco from the 161° Gruppo based in Rhodes in 1941. It is a replica of the aircraft exhibited at the Museo Militare Aeronautico at Vigna di Valle, near Rome. Italeri 1/72 with...

Post your completed models here. Thanks!

Thanks a lot for your comments folks, This is the result of my new "technique". Still not perfect but I think it shows a lot of potential, I can finally try to get that "smoky" airbrush effect on paint brushed models. This will be my life's quest I guess. But one step closer. I am calling it...

After getting the "base" camouflage on, I will use a very diluted background to surgically create miniature "bubbles" that will decrease the other colours and simulate the "pattern of the original camouflage (see below). I did some experiments with an old model and it worked; let's put it to the...

Hi friends, Just a quick note I am under a lot of stress - lots of 13 - 15 hours days at work. In any case the progress so far. I am going to try something new in the camouflage so bare with me here. These are Vallejo Acrylics Giallo Mimetico 3 - Verde Mimetico 2 - Marrone Mimetico 2 and...

Absolutely beautiful. Congratulations

Hi there After a little pause I am indeed moving along. This is the progress so far, bird has been completed and the initial painting has been applied Cheers Alex

Now that must have been a difficult tour. I worked as a Trauma Surgeon in Indianapolis (Wishard Memorial Hospital) and sometimes it felt like a war zone there. Cheers Alex

Excellent work, congratulations

Really nice work. There winter planes were heavily weathered, as you surely know. It is such a fine balance to achieve. Good luck finishing it. Cheers Alex

I am going out on a limb here and assume you can speak and read Polish Saul? Or are these books bilingual? Whenever this Corona hell subsides and people can travel again, you might find yourself in Germany, more specifically in the East - There is a border town called Frankfurt an Oder which...

Excellent work Mark. Just need to concentrate on what really matters now (airplanes of course). Cheers Alex

YOu know I am not into AFV but this has caught my attention. I just love the weathering. what a beautiful model. Congratulations. Cheers Alex
