...always had "issues" building the 1/7nd scale Airfix Sparviero kit, too bad the Italeri one wasn't available during 1980s, absolutely would had loved building it then! The 1/50th Artiplast kit was on sale at a handful of Sacramento, CA hobby stores during 1960s, too bad didn't buy one, store away...

Another model completed and the photos are going to the gallery, S.M. 79-II "Sparviero", 283 squadriglia, 130 gruppo autonoma, Mediterranean 1942. welcome to the gallery. https://i.imgur.com/aom9fxM.jpg https://i.imgur.com/byKXeo0.jpg https://i.imgur.com/KaMWxT3.jpg https://i.imgur.com/d9bSoOL.jpg h...

Model completed, I know there are some inaccuracies but I wanted to do it straight from the box. In summary the build went smoothly, the parts fitted together, a pleasure. Now I have one more "Sparviero" model waiting for me, but this one will be from the EDUARD kit. The last photo is in the worksho...

The painting of the markings from the masks as well as the laying of the decals was successful, not everything had to be painted from the masks. The end is near so it is high time to look around for the next model.

I finished last night and forgive me but I didn't want to post anymore, I was too sleepy. For now the camouflage has been applied at the ready, I still have to use the paint masks and decals.

Ps. Thanks for the hints.

This kind of camouflage not yet finished but already happy, I still have some left to finish.

Thanks for the hint with the pencil I use but not always.

The beginning of the game, this is the moment I always enjoy. Painting freehand without masking or stencils. By the way you can see my mess on my makeshift workshop. I am waiting for the end of the renovation at home to move to an already normal workshop.

Base on top laid and now it will be fun to play with camouflage.

Thanks for the materials provided. The white stripe on the fuselage painted and masked and I did the same with the underside.

A bit of fun and the torpedo including the mount is almost ready, one will be suspended and the other on a trolley. This is my plan. And here I have a small problem, namely how to paint the torpedo? I'm asking because I have several different versions and I don't know which is the correct one. And t...

Undercarriage flaps replaced with new sheet metal. Still a torpedo and it will be possible to start playing with the camouflage.

The arming of tinsel continues.

Playing with tinsel goes all the way.

With a small interlude the work continues, preparation for painting. But with this interlude I will boast because such an interlude is a challenge and a very big one. I had to postpone everything for the express construction of the Polish aircraft TS-11 "Iskra" in 1:72 as a birthday present for the ...

Work continues, the sheet metal is assembled and the interior is ready.
