Nighfighters Italian Style - Biplanes - COMPLETED

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 started work on the CR.32. Such a beautiful little gem, what a pleasure to build. This time the Eduard team has calculated well since everything seems to fit, at least better that in other models.

Here is the progress:

Thanks for watching and more progress to come soon.

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

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

Alex I know you can't sand because alergies but could you take the back of the hobby knife and scrape down the seams? Kind of carve it to shape?
 
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

I am enjoying watching your builds Alex. I have both these kits in the stash awaiting their turn.
 
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...

Cheers

Alex
