Oh Mark, please don't take it as an offense. As usual I am tasting my foot... Sorry, I did not mean that. What I meant is that there is usually little detail to assemble in normal 1/72 kits, so I like the challenge of adding a lot more to the building experience and enjoying the process for a...

You are absolutely right. I do have one of those on stash. What I am talking about is this one here. I have the conversion from Italiankits.com and will use on a normal Sparviero. Just need to get the other projects done first.

Well, without PE it does look kinda boring, don't you think? :peacesign2: Not much progress here but I did get some two new things to go with the diorama. You know I am not one for AFV but I think these two will do nicely. I just have to find some info on the painting that was used by the Regio...

Now that is a real beauty! Congratulations. Very inspiring. Cheers Alex

Very nice project Chris. I do have one on stash (of course 1/72) but I intend to build it as the Brazlian Navy Skyhawk - still in use although the aircraft carrier has been scrapped! Looking forward to your finish. Cheers Alex

Very good looking, very sharp, although very British... Should compare with the Italian racers of the time... Great Job master! Cheers Alex

That is a mean looking 262. I love the matt finish. Good job. Alex

Thanks a lot dear friends (yes I mean also you dave... :)) Unfortunately I have not yet received the PE for the CR.32 and I think it does make a huge difference in the model, so I will be waiting for that. In the meantime here is some progress on the little Falco. Assembly and Painting are...

@helios: you are so right Chris. Even with the magnifying glasses I don't see as much smudging and imperfections as with the camera. I completely agree with you - I am certainly here to learn from all of you, and I am very thankful for that. Besides, it can only get better right? Cheers Alex

@Duke Maddog: Mark, it is amazing how you always have a conforting word, an incentive, a good advice and a positive thing to say. I want you to know that I really appreciate it. Thanks!

Thanks guys. I know it looks very dirty with all the resin and glue and plastic and primer... I promise it will look nicer in the future, or I will die trying. Cheers Alex

That is an amazing Build! Congratulations! A bit of weathering and it could have been a picture of the real thing. Cheers Alex

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
