Aluminium base
Thank you very much to all for greetings and comments, I appreciate lot.
Just yesterday I found couple of minutes free time to work back on to the model.
I proceed with the painting and cover whole model by Aluminium (Alclad 50% Aluminimum + 50% white aluminimum mixed together).
This will be the base for an eventual scraping (or peeling) at the end of painting process.....will see.
Take a look...

Preshading....
As usual I prefer start with a preshading in order to fade next layer of colors on the model to obtain a "aged" effect of the paint.
This time preshadin is particularly strong because the very dark green that will follow could cover too much a soft preshading.
Here the paint job of today:

GAC1 undersurfaces colouring
Hy boys
I started to apply colour from under surfaces.
The Gunze H324 Gray is what I choose to replicate the Grigio Arruzzo Chiaro 1 for undersurfaces of Italian Fighters in 1941.
I spry several light coat havy diluited, until I get the follow result (sse the pics):
quite good but this is not wath I have in mind in fact I like much aged model so I go on to spry lightned gray to give much effects on to the surfaces....
...Until I got this effects:
good but is not the end.....stay tuned.

Painting deal
Thank you lananda, but I am just a modeller with big passion for airplane.....
So I proceeding with painting job on upper surfaces....
Started by light coat of verde anticorrosione followed by dark green Tamiya XF-27 only on the wings and fuselage....and I decided to use salt technique to get an aged area on the wings, where piolt and mechanics aften walk to make maintenace or perparing for take off.....
then I go on painting with Gunze very dark green H65....
After this long step the salt was removed and you can see the "aged" zone on the wings
At this point I started with the scraping technique.....and I get the following result
The next step will be "point of no return" so if you have suggestion, recommendations or whatever please tell me.
Ciao for now
