ironman1945 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I finished this one early last year. I know some have mentioned that this is a difficult kit to assemble; there were some fiddly bits but all in all i enjoyed it very much. I'm very happy with the way it turned out. florin13, Aerobat, Ralph-D and 13 others 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironman1945 Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 Kev Yes, by all means post it on the website. It would be an honour! DaveIronman1945 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HL-10 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 That is a beauty! Great work on the smoke ring camouflage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironman1945 Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 HL-10 I cannot tell a lie (and I forgot to mention this in my original post). The smoke rings are decals by Mike Grant. While I practiced trying to do them by hand with an airbrush, the truth is I'm lazy. They were super easy to use; a coat of Future, decals, a bit of diluted Solvaset, another coat of future and a flatcoat. Cant tell they are decals. I'm really happy with how they turned out and would highly recommend them! Dave/Ironman1945. Zero77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wouter Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Well, no matter how you build it, it certainly looks the part. Good job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennismcc Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Looks great, I just love those WW2 Italian aircraft, and you have nailed that one, it is nice to see the Mike Grant smoke ring decals being used, and a description of how to use them !

LSP_Kevin Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 When I built my 21st Century kit, I enquired with Mike about obtaining his smoke ring decals in 1/32, but by the time I had them sent over, they would have cost me about AU$50, so I decided to paint them instead. Looks like they work really well! Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero77 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I love the italian aircraft, especially the "5" series. The C.202 is not properly a "5", but it is very close to ! Your build and paint job makes justice to this very nice plane ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wunwinglow Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Smashing! Looks spot on! Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironman1945 Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 Thanks for the kind words everyone. Skiner: the photos were actually shot indoors using a floodlamp and a reflector, and a really basic camera. Zero77: Yes, I have always loved the Italian WWII fighters, and we are very fortunate to have them in 1/32 from Pacific Coast Models. I have all of thier releases.... the Macchi 205, Macchi 200, Fiat G50 and G55, etc etc waiting in the wings to be built. I just need to find the time!

Zero77 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 By the way Dave, which paint did you use for this scheme? I've bought a pack of Lifecolor italian paint, but i am a bit frightened to try such a fine airbrush work with this paint, which is pretty hard to work with in my opinion. It's great in colors, coverage and sturdiness, but i've always have a bothering clogging phenomenon in a few minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
