sandbagger Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Hi all, The Ansaldo A.1 ‘Balilla’, Serial No:16558 of pilot Tenente Leopoldo Eleuteri of No:70a Squadriglia, operating from Gazzo Padovano during the September of 1918. The forum build log is here: As usual I've uploaded my PDF and bookmarked build log to Gallery 3 on my site (link below). Thanks for your support and comments throughout this build, Mike Landrotten Highlander, geedubelyer, Kagemusha and 17 others 19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Molitor Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Another brilliant outcome Mike. Enjoyed this one. Thanks for sharing. Gave up on the ladder idea? Save it for the next. Troy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnarg Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I admire the coordination of the color of the wing camouflage with the color of the grass on the base. Maybe it was luck, but it sure looks great. I also congratulate you on spectacular creation of a replica of an aircraft engine that has perfect color. I believe those rusty exhaust and oil stains correspond to a real machine. What an amazing creation. Tnarg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gave up on the ladder idea? Save it for the next. Troy. Thanks everyone - greatly appreciated. Yes the ladder had to go. The drift wires got in the way so I couldn't get the ladder with the mechanic close enough to the engine. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R Palimaka Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Superb job on a model we are not likely to see built very often. All the details and finish are done to such subtle and realistic effect. The figures and setting are wonderful too!! Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
