The same with me ;-) On the other hand - that would be quite a view - a guy sitting on a plane or in a train trying to build a model :-)

The engine cover has been riveted and put together. Except for the two side covers which will be next to show the engine. Camouflage colours are also applied, but not all of them. The same goes for the undercarriage, one built up and the other with the covers removed to show the resin wheels with the beautiful camber from the CMK.

The fun continues with another colour of camouflage applied.

Witam! To mój pierwszy post na tym forum i powiem szczerze przymierzałem się do niego od pewnego czasu, ale teraz przejdźmy już do modelu. Oto pierwszy model jaki wylądował na moim warsztacie, pierwszy, bo w tak dużej jak dla mnie skali 1:32. A bohaterem, który wylądował na warsztacie jest Fiat CR.42 „Falco” w wspomnianej już skali 1:32 z firmy ICM a sam model ma nr. Kat. 32020. Model znany więc pominę zawartość pudełka. Przy budowie modelu wykorzystam następujące dodatki:

Hello! This is my first post on this forum and to be honest, I've been trying to do it for a while, but now let's move on to the model. Here is the first model that landed on my workshop, the first one, because it was in such a large scale for me 1:32. And the hero who landed in the workshop is a Fiat CR.42 "Falco" in the already mentioned 1:32 scale from the ICM company, and the model itself has the number Cat. 32020. Model known so I'll skip the contents of the box. When building the model, I will use the following additions:
No doubt others have Google translated it. Likely earliest demonstrations of real-time language translation albeit science fiction were the Star Trek - The Original 1966-69 Series audio Universal Translators, Star Trek The Motion Picture introducing English text translation during the Klingon attack of the V'ger probe. Earth vs. The Flying Saucers (1956) me thinks was first motion picture with English to Alien Language translation via talking at a crystaline translator embedded inside the alien's biosuits, Alien translation sounding like the garbled speech of several people talkig with bit of reverb. When first saw the movie on re-release c.1961 frightened me to death, Hitchcock's eco-revenge horror flick The Birds (1963) disturbed me for years also. Anyway, love these translators, highly useful Artifical Computer Intelligence indeed!

I managed to lay down the last camouflage colour, it was fun to paint and you can see the effect in the photo. It's slowly coming to an end and the next models are waiting in line.

Part of the masks removed, zero touch-ups paint super holds to the surface. Now flash, tracing paper, masks and assembly into a whole.

Assembly is underway and it's in full swing. And I have to say that the fit of the parts is perfect, everything fits and nothing needs to be fiddled with to fit the parts. You just have to stick to the instructions and watch how the assembly pins are arranged. The model is almost finished, and by the way as the "Falco" is put together I will ask how the camouflage came out? I ask because this is my first 32 is.
