Hey Eric so nice to hear from you again. Thanks so much. All is well, it was just absolutely bonkers for the last few years. But I am back and hopefully will stay. Need to do a case now (as usual) but will try and be back later. Cheers! Alex

Dear all, Best possibly way to get back is to start in my favourite campaign, the MMM. I will be building an Italeri 1/72 Macchi Mc.202 with lots of Eduard PE (cockpit, landing gear, Flaps) in the colours of the Regia Aeronautica during the Battle of Italy in 1943. This aircraft was flown...

Hello dear friends I hope you are all well. It's been about 2 years since my last stint in here, but if you still remember me, I'd like to join the club once again. I know it was a looong pause but I simply could not keep up with modelling during the COVID waves. I thought it was unfair to not...

Hi there. I am going to fast track this one and present the completed pictures. Again I think I have overdone the weathering. Must work on that, it looks good to the naked eye but in the pictures it is way too much. In any case another Stuka in my collection. Cheers and thanks for looking...

Hi there, A little side project I did to test the faint winter camouflage over the normal Italian one, which I am going to be using in some of the next German projects. I'd appreciate if those more experienced could comment on this cammo: too soft? Too sparse? Too thick? Thanks a lot...

Hello everyone, Another forced break from the bench but I have completed this project (Ribbon please!). They turned out ok IMHO I particularly like the CR.32 after a very light weathering. Now on to new projects mostly with the Luftwaffe! Thanks for watching and sorry for the long delay...

That is precisely what I have been doing Bob, I just usually wait for the construction of the model to be ready because it is a one-shot thing. Certainly I need to improve a lot on that sense. Thanks for the input. Cheers Alex

I take care of them after the building phase is complete (or I try to), not in this phase. Next pictures will show what I have done. I do use that great suggestion of a knife instead of sanding them, but the results are incomplete. I will keep on working on that. Scout's honor. Cheers Alex

Thanks Bob and Eric. These things are so weird to build... Not as straightforward as an airplane! But in a way they are nice. Will fit the diorama well. Cheers Alex

My sincere condolences. I am very sorry for your loss. COVID has devastated families all over the world and will still remaining doing so until we can get all vaccinated - everyone all over. What happened to your friend is unfortunately all too familiar and for all of us working on the front...

Hello again. @Duke Maddog these trucks are really nice Mark. A bit of a pain to assemble since I am not really familiar with building AFV but I am giving it a try. This is the progress on both of them. There is a lot of retouching to be done but right now I am happy that they are staying glued...

Thanks a lot Rob and Bob. You know me. I love the fine work. That is what brings me most joy in all of this hobby. And now trying to get everything together. Cheers Alex

Hey Paul I am impressed with the detail and the clarity of your explanations. Thanks for providing such a good seminar, I have learned a lot from reading this post. Amazing. Cheers Alex

Beautiful Job as usual Master Luiz, nicely done. Tudo bem ai com voces? Espero que tenham ficado com saúde esse tempo. Grande abraco, Alex

Some more progress on the little Fiat Cr. 32. It is a shame that the PE remains so hidden. At least there is also PE on the outside. wishing you all a good weekend, Cheers Alex

Thanks Gary and Mark. Indeed I use a very, very thin layer of paint. I guess the augmentation is such, that it still looks blobbed. I will try to thin it even more for the next endeavours. Cheers Alex

Hello everyone, As I had mentioned in that terrific thread on the Junkers Ju-87G2 by @paddy I was planing on building the Italian version of the Stuka, in this case a B1 version which was used against Malta from bases in Sicily in 1940. Since the Italian aircraft industry was not able to come...

Hey friends, Thanks for the nice comments. I am sorry I have not been posting lately. I always have these "phases" in which there is simply no bench time. I hope these next few weeks will be a little quieter and that I can get some work done. In any case, the PE arrived and I have finally...

Same here. I missed it. What a wonderful job, love the car and the settings. Espero que esteja tudo bem ai meu amigo, e que vocês tenham escapado dessa praga toda aí no Brasil sem problemas maiores. Estou já há quase dois anos sem voltar para casa, simplesmente nao dá. Como está a vacinacao...

@Barney : That is a good one. I have been doing some research and I found that either these trucks retained (like the airplanes) their desert camouflage or were painted in an incospicuous green similar to verde oliva scuro. Other sources show a different pattern but not in Russia. I guess I will...
