Derek B Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Alan, She has turned out to be a very elegent aircraft indeed - you must be (rightly so) very proud of your handy work. Beautiful finish as well. The undercarriage keeps reminding me of a B-P Defiant for some strange reason! Well done Alan, you'll need a 'rest' model to build now!

Allok Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Hi Alan. Once again I find myself chiming in far too late and have to spend a good part of the afternoon waiting for pics to download. Once again I find myself looking at a spectacular build. I love it. The crank handle definitely finishes it off! Keith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoki Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Wonderfull building !!! Now I know it's possible. Where did you get the riveting plan for the wings? I'm quite interested indeed. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerP Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Alan, An absolutely beautiful buid and the instructional level was great...great ideas on pinning, pre-drilling for etched pieces, etc. I would love to have you and Jean and Radu give a tutorial on the use of the lathe. Once again a fantastic build...can't wait to get one of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaninaustria Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 Hi Guys, thanks for the nice words and sorry for the late reply. Shoki: I just went with my gut feeling... and a few photos I found on the web. Roger, the lathe use is all self taught... just be forwarned.... once you start playing with a lathe... you can't stop mate!! Cheers and happy modelling guys!

alberto49 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) Hi Alan, I just started working on the same PCM kit you did years ago and I must say that I'm using your thread as very valuable guide, but I have a question for you. On post no. 163 you mentioned riveting on fuselage and wings according to references you found, could you pls let me know which references did you used? I know that riveting on Reggiane birds was very evident, like in this photo of, I think, a Re 2001 Many thanks in advance for your answer.

Ken Lawrence Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Hello Alan, I'm happy to see this model. This is one of my favorites and Sword did a great job on it. Meeting you at Nuremberg are fond memories for me. It gave me great satisfaction that a few of us could bring some Italian and British aircraft to modelers. Cheers, Ken dennismcc, Kagemusha, Iain and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
