Hello to all, I hope you had a nice weekend. I was able to get some work done on the Macchi and hopefully I will make it to the deadline. So here is the cockpit after a lot of PE from Eduard. I am still trying to tone down on the weathering, which makes more sense for 1/72 (actually most...

Very intriguing model and a great start! Looking forward to your progress. Cheers Alex

So glad to be back among friends again...

That is such a shame Dave. it is a very nice model. Maybe you can canibalize another Zero? Otherwise the suggestion from John is great. I wish we had that kind of service in Europe. Cheers Alex

This is a huge project. I would never dare. You are going to need a whole lot of bags of Studenten Futter (you call it trail mix right) Good luck! Alex

@paddy since I am not able to use airbrushes or any kind of spray I tried them in paintbrushing. Horrible results even after X+1 layers. To me they are a no go. Certainly in more capable hands like yours they will look really nice. Cheers Alex

Thanks Paul! So nice to be in touch again. I cannot imagine a 1/32 Sparviero, that would be a monster... Have you tried the Trumpeter 1/48?

The Fiat G.55, when it was still Italaerei. 60 years+ ago, there was a commemorative edition not so long ago.

Thanks a lot guys No, the gunner is from CMK-Kits and looks like is about to throw up after eating too much spaghetti. Mille Grazie @Rhino Mi fa piacere che trovi il mio modellino buono.

Very nice project and excellent job so far!

I just saw it! My son was playing with it yesterday. I guess some of the guys were amputated overnight :ph: :ph:

Hi folks, This is a little diorama of my Italeri Sparviero showing a scene from the GAdurrá Air Base in Southern Rhodes, mostly used for torpedo missions against allied convoys in the eastern Mediterranean. The link to the model itself is this...

Hi again Of course I would not start modelling again without my very favourite airplane, the Sparviero. This is an Aerosilurante (Torpedo Bomber) Savoia-Marchetti Sm.79 Sparviero from the 278 Squadriglia, 132° Gruppo based in Gadurra (Rhodes) in 1942. Model is an Italeri 1/72 with PE from...

Hi there So I am getting back into the fold and these are three recent attempts to warm up. 1. Morane-Saulnier Ms.406 Vichy Air Force - Hasegawa 1/72 with PE Eduard (cockpit, flaps) 2. IAI Kfir C-2 - Italeri 1/72 OOB 3. Macchi Mc.202 Italeri 1/72 OOB All of them paint-brushed. Still...

So here the first images Italeri 1/72 PE Eduard Decals from Skymodels

Thanks guys I love the Italian aircraft and camos. They are by far my favorite. And mind you, still everything paint-brushed. I have finished another Mc 202, will post some pictures today. Cheers Alex

Thank you so much, I am so happy to be back and I surely appreciate your kind words. So let's get going and churn up some models!

Yes I am, born and raised in Porto Alegre - but since 27 years abroad. Cheers!

Thanks James that is very kind of you. Glad to be back.

Thank you very much, appreciated!
