SCRATCH BUILDER Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Hey Alex, Where we at on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted November 17, 2017 Author Share Posted November 17, 2017 Unfortunatelly not much progress. I started to think about the trolley. From the few pictures I'm aware of that show the trolley, it seems that the construction is simmilar to the one of the Cant Z.506 shown in a musseum here: http://www.aeronautica.difesa.it/storia/museostorico/Pagine/CRDACANTZ506.aspx The steel bars will be made of evergreen profiles. I'm still not sure about the wheels of the trolley. From the phtotos I found of the Cant Z.506 in the museeum, it seems that the wheels were mounted on some kind of ring. I think I'll do it like in this stunning 1/72 model of the Z.506 http://archiwum.plastikowe.pl/relacje/cant-z506b-airone-72-supermodel That's where I am at the moment: I really should stay on track with the RS.14 (not mentioning the Hampden ), but currently I'm a bit distracted with other 3d-projects that could turn into lsp-models. It's an Addiction Cheers Alex sandokan, Starfighter, Jim Barry and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexM Posted December 29, 2017 Author Share Posted December 29, 2017 Hi Rick, I had to google the word jonesin, but now I understand your pain Not much progress on the Fiat, unfortunately. Recently, I've been playing around with another little project, which might fit a forthcoming Iron Rain group build. Of course, starting something new while having several unfinished models on the workbench makes totally sense Now, I have one week vacation, so hopefully I find more time to cut some styrene.

sandokan Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Alex congrats for your awesome and amazing wip! Probably somebody has already suggested manuals or pictures about it if not, please go to the CMPR italian modelers website where you can find the RS and CRDA Cant manuals. http://www.cmpr.it/manuali.htm AlexM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 Thanks Iain! Alex congrats for your awesome and amazing wip!Probably somebody has already suggested manuals or pictures about it if not, please go to the CMPR italian modelers website where you can find the RS and CRDA Cant manuals.http://www.cmpr.it/manuali.htm Yeah, that's a great site. Another good source is this: http://www.avia-it.com/act/profili_daerei/libretti_velivolo/avianew_profili_aerei_libretti_miana_velivoli.asp For this project, I bought a scan of the complete manual somewhere on Ebay. The file-package also contained some extremly high resolution scans of period plans which are very helpfull. I just whished I could find some period documents of the also beautiful Fiat CR.25 Cheers Alex sandokan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexM Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share Posted January 3, 2018 (edited) At least a little progress. I made the seat for the observer in the glass-nose. It's a bit speculative, since it is just based on a few period plans. It seems that the real thing was foldable. But I couldn't find one single photo clearly showing this seat on the real thing.
