Thanks Jose.

I don't expect I'll ever get my builds as professional-looking as Jean Barby's, but I was pleased with my modest effort.

I finally managed to take some pics of my Nardi FN.305. It's great to know that I helped you Maxidad66 to finish your model.

Great build, Jose! Lovely camo!

I think we can be justifiably proud of the jobs we both did on this nice little aircraft.

How did you find the fit of the undercarriage struts? I had to replace mine with thick wire, as I couldn't get the kit parts into the correct positions.

Thanks all for your kind words. I'm glad you guys liked my model. The Nardi has proved to be a popular subject. The airforces of Chile and Venezuela also flew the Nardi and there is one preserved in Chile. Latin America was a great market for italian aircraft in the 30's.

How did you find the fit of the undercarriage struts?

Well Maxidad66 they didn't fit that well, so I glued them with 5 min Epoxy Glue, the strongest thing I have and it worked out great. I did this on my Re.2001 also.
