RE.2005 Sagitario

Yes it was . Wrote that one down in the notebook so I don't forget. :S

Now I also know how to get a really good glossy paint job with acrylics as well .

That paint brush technique is truly a no brainer . :)

Cheers, Christian
 
Awesome save Chris. You know with all the Italian birds you have been showing us, I've decided I need one too. Luckily the markings for my Ju-87 have an Italian scheme. :D

Thank MP & James . Hope this can benefit someone else too . :cheer:

James, you're only going half way with the Italian ?

I have been considering a French attack plane for the near future ( hard to conceive that ) but Mike keeps dragging me back to this Macchi 202 . So many interesting choice ! :woohoo:

Hi Saul ! I'm guessing you don't want a French attack plane either :hmmm

Good picture. I have never seen that one before but I have to admit to my surprise . You posted a picture that has no teeth :rotf

Christian,

I like weapons that are captured and used. So this fits my collection even if it doesn't need a dentist! I like French aircraft too but many aren't as pleasing to the eyes as most Italian aircraft.

Seen on Craig's List


For Sale, French Army Rifle, Dropped Once, Never Fired. :laugh:



Yeah, the 202!!!!!! (y)
 
Well , I think I've seen them all but I can't think of any that are pleasing to the eye ( not WW II anyway ) .

I just can't place a Renault or a Citroen next to a Ferrari , Maserati or even an Alfa Romeo and think it's the same thing :S

I just have an interest in all of them, as ungainly as some may be. Than I think of the brave men who flew them , knowing they never had a fair chance. It was all done on courage alone .

Strangely enough, I don't have any captured planes but I think that has to do with too many choices and not enough time.

Cheers, Christian B)

A few decades ago, I built several French aircraft for a collector. Many were resin from JMGT, Fonderie Miniature, Pend Oreille, and Fox Echo. These included the Bloch 150/151/152 with the canted nose, Breguet 693, Caudron C. 714, Latecoere 298 (with sharkmouth), and Dewoitine D.520 (with sharkmouth). The latter subject, a kit from Fox Echo, was about to be started when Ltd came out with their polystyrene release and I built that instead. The Fox Echo kit is still in my stash. Of course, Tamiya later came out with their kit.

The rest of the French Air Force I built for the collector were the Curtiss H.75 (Hobbycraft) and DB-7 (conversion of AMT kit).

Meanwhile. just adding a bit of evidence of it's use.

At this point in the war they probably were flown to the point of destruction. :(

Got brave and tried something new in this phase: Vallejo Matt Varnish :cheer: Really like the way it went on so far !

Comments always welcomed .

Cheers, Christian B)
 
It is. I needed to flatten the finish to give the dirt some grip . Goes on very smooth. Dries very quikly.

Will probably return the finis back to semi gloss when I'm done with the top side .

Cheers, Christian B)
 
I'm not even able to comment on resin kits, but I have the Azur version in the box and so far it looks buildable.
Of course, who knows what will happen from that point on. :S Just one of those things . Most likely just interesting . It ain't pretty :stinker
