Hit and miss with Iateleri kits I find. Following along on this build Chris.

Thanks for staying tuned in guys

I'm not sure Italeri WW II aviation kits have ever been marvelous but I have not built them all .
So far , I think the 72 scale CR.42 has been their best .
I still have plenty in the closet that need exploring before I can comment further.

Ok, so there's my last bit of progress The fuselage seems have been conquered and I can finish assembling the fuselage bits.

Cheers, Christian B)

Since the fuselage has no positive places to install the interior , I rinse the dust from inside and created my own primitive mounting......Sticks and nearly had to get some stones

Now for the belly pam .

The undersized bomb bay doors have been replaced with card material and the lower dust bin has been removed and is about to be fared over.

Cheers, Christian B)

Very nice! Sticks and stones, eh?

 

[phantom II]

Pretty much Mike . Now it's stretched sprue and card stock to plug all the holes and keep the dirt out ,

Now some lunch while this melted plastic dries a bit

And boxed in the wheel wells .

Thanks guys. Not much to show today . Spent the day getting the wheel well sealed and ready for paint as well as some other fine details.

The canopy was a near fit. I had to raise it with 0.010 shims . Going for the second round of Surfacer and sanding to make it fit better .

Cheers, Christian B)

 

[Iron Mike]

Fill, sand, repeat.

 

[phantom II]

Fill, sand, repeat.
