Thank you, Andy.
My next build should be the Italeri Douglas P70 (box art from Italeri on-line catalogue).

It's not in my confort zone, but I'd like to build up some experience on shading and a totally black nightfighter is a good testing ground. Moreover, it was on sale, so not a big drain on the budget.

Lovely looking tank andrea , perfectly weathered for a modern machine. The p70 is a lovely looking aircraft and this is a rebox of the AMT tooling so is a nicely detailed kit . Looking forward to the build , cheers tony

Nice choice of plane,they certainly had an attractive look about them
I have an Airfix Douglas Invader in the stash which, (when I get around to it!!),is out of my comfort zone too,but I'm looking forward to doing it
I'll be watching your progress with much interest

No need to be sheepish about that one Andrea, it looks excellent

 

[Jakko]

Good-looking model, and the fact that you don’t remember when you finished the last one is probably a symptom of being an advanced modeller

Those are the mugshots of my Ariete.

Beautiful finish Andrea. Be lucky the mugshots don't wind up on the post office wall as wanted poster's offering a reward for them.......To be honest, I loved it when it was painted in Ferrari red, but of course the green is a more tactical color these days. Top job Sir!!!.......

Thank you Allen. I agree: the red livery was fascinating, but Ferrari pointed out that even if a 120mm gun would have definitely changed their approach to the races and brought the Scuderia to the top again, a pit stop would have been too much time consuming.
