Padraic Conway Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Just found this Alex: excellent work! How did you manage the texture on the steps for the crew ladder? Very impressive. Padraic AlexM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Cross Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) One of my favorite planes. Glad someone did it in 32-scale, though it doesn't look like you get much other than the shape of the thing. What did you do about engines, landing gear, etc.?

Iain Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 As well as the Tigger Models vac - I believe HpH are working on one in resin Bill - but it won't be cheap... It's a great subject IMHO - and with some of the injection moulded subjects we've seen appear in last few years you just never know!

I built one in 1/72nd scale many years ago when I didn't need glasses. I also would rather pay for a "one stop shopping" solution than have to scratchbuild the engines or source them elsewhere. Not much interested in kitbashing. I'm surprised Italeri haven't released it in our scale, since it's one of the iconic Regia Aeronautica airframes and has the torpedo bomber variant.

AlexM Posted January 3, 2019 Author Share Posted January 3, 2019 I don't dare to say, but the engine cowlings were made of deodorant covers The forward parts of the cowlings, as well as the wheels, were my very first steps in 3d-printing. For the engines, there are very nice resin Bristol Pegasus/Alfa Romeo 126 RC.34 engines from Vector. Bill Cross and Iain 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Cross Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Yikes, that's more scratching than a flea-infested dog. No thanks, I'll wait for HpH or even a styrene offering. Funny that Trumpy hasn't upscaled their quarter-scale version.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
