Sm.79 Sparviero 1/72

[Flyingbabydoc]

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 Eduard (interior and exterior) and decals from Sky Models. Brush-painted with Vallejo.

I have used this models also on a diorama, the link is here: https://modelersalliance.org/threads/1-72-sparviero-della-regia-aeronautica-rhodes-1942.156854/

Tips and comments always appreciated. Thanks a lot

Cheers

Alex

Neat-O camo! Did the bemused looking gunner come with the kit? Bravissimo!

Thanks a lot guys

No, the gunner is from CMK-Kits and looks like is about to throw up after eating too much spaghetti.

Mille Grazie @Rhino Mi fa piacere che trovi il mio modellino buono.

La Scimmia e sul ramo, Mio Amico!
Or he thought no one was around and let a huge scoraggia go in the plane.
