Dpgsbody55 Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Here is my latest project, namely ICM's lovely Fiat CR-42 model. Overall, this is a lovely model to build as is the usual case with ICM kits these days although there were a couple of things I thought could have been done a bit better. This is a model I have wanted for a long time and I'd dearly love to see more injection molded LSP Regia Aeronautica subjects tackled as Italy built some great planes in WW2. This particular plane is the fighter variant and was operated by the 75th Squadron, 23rd Gruppo Autonomo, based in Sicily in June of 1941. The decals are from the kit, but I have added some photo etch courtesy of Eduard. I've also enhanced the engine detail with some copper wire spark plug leads as well as some extra plumbing which I think is oil related. Here's a shot of the completed engine. This is the completed cockpit, to which has been added some Eduard etch as well as rudder cables made from wire. Work In Progress build here: Fiat CR-42 Falco, by ICM Cheers, Michael Panzerwomble, Dany Boy, Landrotten Highlander and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dpgsbody55 Posted November 17, 2021 Author Share Posted November 17, 2021 Thank you, everyone. It's nice to do something different, but I might have to see if I can lay my hands on another in the sales later this month. Just don't tell SWMBO, please Cheers, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncarina Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 What happens on LSP stays on LSP. Seriously, I really liked following your build and you did an impressive job! Cheers, Tom Dpgsbody55 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
