Hello again, Since I am back on the modelling mojo, I decided to start working on a long project of mine - a diorama of North Korean MiG-15 with lots (and I really mean it) of extras like flaps, cockpits and in one of them the whole engine with a dismounted fuselage. However, to ease back into...

Hello everyone, I hope you are all well! Again my appologies for being absent from the forum for so long. New job, moving cities, tremendously more work and responsibilities and unfortunately very little time for modelling. However, I could not miss the MMM 24, this is always my favorite...

Hello dear friends, After another involuntary hiatus I am happy to show you my latest, a limited edition Breda Ba.65 from AZ Model, with resin and PE parts direct from the manufacturer. Not an easy build, you have to do some modifications to get everything to fit. I added the 50-pound...

Hello to everyone, Another little Italian to the collection. This is the Macchi Mc.200 Saetta from AML in 1/72 (always), with lots of Resin parts to complete the model. The kit is a limited production from AML in the Czech Republic. I have built one of these before, it was a pain in the...

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...

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, 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, 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...

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...

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...

Post your completed models here. Thanks!

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...

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...

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...

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...
