The Italian's are coming!

[ModelFreak72]

Hey guys! Just got through with a trio of Italian aircraft. I sprayed all three with lifecolor paint, I used Tamiya enamels for the panel lines and a home made mix of grimy black and rust for the exhaust. Got lots of pics! Thanks for looking!

[ModelFreak72]

Thanks guys!

Sticky I used a tamiya black enamel wash on the folgore and the veltro, and used flory model dark dirt on the CR folgore.

Great job on those Italian fighters! I've always liked their mottled, cloud, smoke
pattern camo. Congrats! Bill

Thanks Bill!

Thanks Jelly!

Hey Chris, not to add more to the plate but, I'd like to see you do one. If you want a really crazy camo, special hobby has a fiat G55 with a three tone splinter scheme.

 

[Chris S]

I just had a look at that ;D ;D ....What is Special Hobbies kits like ?? never built one .

Chris.

Hey Chris, I still haven't built mine yet but the kit comes pretty well detailed! They give you a nice sprue of PE,if you don't mind that it's not painted and the instruments are film. The panel lines are crisp and the test fit of the fuselage has a clean fit. The only little hicup I found was that the throttle box dosen't have any indication of where to put the handles. I have the Sottoserie 0 and it gives you three camo schemes, two call for the green over grey-blue, one is Regia Aeronautica and the other is ANR. The third is a spliter scheme which is green,maroon, and camo yellow over grey-blue. It's ANR also, but I went on Stormo magazine's website and found a picture of one that looked like it had Regia Aeronautica markings on it. Thats what I'm going to do. So are we going to see you build one?

Thanks for that Pete .......Its a distinct possibility

Chris.

Hey Chris, let me know when you pick one up, maybe we could get a WWII Italian fighter GB going?
