A recent ebay purchase, theres something about italian planes that i like but cant quite put my finger on what

Nice looking decals

Instructions are basic but tell you all thats needed

You get three sprues of almost flash free grey styrene

you even get a stand

Cockpit is basic with just a seat so its lucky theres a pilot to fill the hole

All primed up its starting to show its true beauty

underside sprayed light grey and a light brown first coat laid down for a camo experiment i've never tried before.

Hopefully get to try it tonight

My masking experiment hasnt worked as well as i'd hoped, maybe it will look better when decals and weathering applied.

or maybe not

Wayne thats a clean looking build. You could put the putty over the decals and free hand touch in more green ? Either way it really is a nice looking Italion Stalion.

i think dirtying it up helped a little but its not one of my better paint jobs.

may try it again sometime

Its a nice build Wayne. I think it just needed smaller blobs of bluetak

Nice work Wayne. I agree with the other guys. If you cover those decals and white tips and put some smaller blobs of blue tac on the brown and respray the green it will be more like the box top scheme I think. Or add green with a brush as Trey suggested. But it's still a nice model, and it is interesting to see the softer edge to the pattern from the blue tac masking.

Nice job Wayne. Not sure why you like Italian planes, well this one does have a nice shape to it - I reckon.
