Wow x 10! That is really nice. Must be a huge model from what I gather from the pictures. Good luck, although you seem to have all well under control. Will be watching. Cheers Alex

Rob, I absolutely support this idea. There are so many subjects for a SCW campaign, either nationalists or republicans, Condor Legion, Italian Expeditionary Force, Partisans... I am in!

Thanks a lot guys. It was fun to paint. Still a bit rough, but at least not as thick as before. These Italian airplanes from WWII are delightful to paint and even more to train all these crazy cammos.

Hi there folks, In continuing with my Italian streak I will enter the campaign with a little gem, an Italeri 1/72 Fiat Cr.42 Falco. I am adding as much PE as I can, since I simply cannot live without PE anymore I am trying to assemble a "series" of kits representing the aircraft exposed at the...

I am in. A nice little Falcon (no, not the F-16. The original Fiat Cr.42)

Hello all, Again I hope you are all well and healthy. As I mentioned before little time on my hands but I was able to finish some small dioramas. The first one is a desert scene of a Macchi Mc. 200 from the 3° Gruppo in North-Africa. Kit AML with PE and Resin, Vallejo Acrylics. The...

Hi friends, I hope you are all well and safe. I know I have been missing a lot in the forums. Sorry about that. The virus has been giving us a ride for our money, but hopefully I will be able to participate a bit more in the next few months. I am absolutely planning on joining the MMM 2021...

Thank you so much my dear friends. It means a lot to me to see that my impression of getting better is not a figment of my imagination. It has been such a tough year, still now so dangerous and worrisome. I am not sure when I will be able to spend some time in the bench again, or even at the...

Hi friends, Sorry I have been AWOL, the situation is not very good corona-wise in Germany right now, still preparing for the immunization. In any case, just as a relief from the whole stress I built my favorite aircraft, the old Gobbo Maledetto - Sparviero in the colors of the 281 Squadriglia...

Same here Paul. That should be great to talk to you guys in person. Hopefully we can set something like this up again.

The Val has been painted. What a fiery Dragon camouflage!

Little Update: Last Zero completed assembly:

I am in depending on the time zone factor. We use Cisco Webex Meetings for all purposes here, but I guess I could enter a zoom meeting with the proper "invitation" despite the firewall. I guess MEST ist + 6 hours from EST correct? Cheers Alex

Hey Paul sorry I missed this until now. That is some amazing work. I love your attention to detail, exquisite. It feels like you are building the real thing. Imagine if these were ready before 1945. That would have made for a nasty surprise. Cheers Alex

Thanks Mark and Barney, always so kind. Appreciated. @Barney I really think these canopies are quite large. I like to work very "minimalistic"... It is a challenge I strive for. Thanks for looking!

Thanks a lot Mark and Barney, @Duke Maddog what's wrong with you? Everything all right? Anything I can help you with? Come on, you have delighted us with such great models always! Cheers Alex

Thanks a lot you all. Appreciated. It was fun to build and these background pictures from Coastal Kits in the UK are really great. Wait until you see the Japanese carriers. Cheers Alex

Quite right! That was a blob of Surfacer. It has been taken care of = bug squashed. :ro:

Thanks Piet. I think it looks a bit better so.

Hi Everyone, This is my first Diorama Thread, I hope not the last. I am showing a Nakajima Ki-49 II Donryu "Helen" in an advanced Japanese jungle airfield. These precarious outpost were dispersed over the Pacific Theatre, the one here is supposed to be in New Guinea around 1943. Note the...
