chrish Posted January 8, 2020 Author Share Posted January 8, 2020 Thank you very much for the encouragement guys! I'm pretty sure it's the color scheme that was calling to me over the last few weeks/builds! It sure is something different I agree and great enjoyment to try my hand at it. Probably wont be my last Italian single engine now that I've got a taste for it... Alain Gadbois and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrish Posted January 9, 2020 Author Share Posted January 9, 2020 Thank you for looking I put on the few decals the version I'm building has and attached a few more parts. That's all I've got for now. AlexM, Out2gtcha, Trak-Tor and 10 others 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmayhew Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 the Italians had a few 'hump back' fighters which I don't find very appealing but this is an attractive airframe for me the kit looks like hard work and not something I'd be interested in to build, but you have mastered it beautifully looking forward to seeing this weathered and completed thank you for sharing Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrish Posted January 9, 2020 Author Share Posted January 9, 2020 Thank you kindly for the encouragement! I can build fast because...I have no real social life. At least not in winter (-27 with the windchill today... 15 cm of snow in the weather forcast) I went with a light weathering, more dirt than weather I guess, except a bit of chipping on the prop. I need to clean up the seam around the windshield, fit upper cowl guns to the previously drilled holes mask the clear bits and re-flat coat (after the oil paints dry) and fit an antenna wire...aaaannnnnnd I think that's all?

chrish Posted January 13, 2020 Author Share Posted January 13, 2020 So the oils I used for streaking are still drying....Never one to sit patiently by, I started something I've been kicking around for years. Hopefully...someday... this will look like Franz Stigler... doing this but in 1/32 it may be to big a project for me Isar 30/07, MikeMaben, LSP_Kevin and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrish Posted January 15, 2020 Author Share Posted January 15, 2020 The last of the very light "weathering" is done and final satin coat of clear is dry. I think it's done... MikeMaben, sandokan, Out2gtcha and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrish Posted January 15, 2020 Author Share Posted January 15, 2020 Looking at pics I notice a dent in the left leading edge, I'll get back to that...Strangely I cant see it by eye! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks like the typical gouge you get when clipping the parts of the sprues. I get 'em all the time, and they can sneak past you if you're not vigilant!
