I hope I'm not becoming a pest with this, but this forum is my best place to get feedback on this project.

Another test focusing on the pattern (size of color patches, spacing, feathered edges). Please let me know if I'm getting close.

BTW, I forgot to mention, re: color matching, I'm using MRP (Mr. Paint) Giallo Mimetico (MRP-325), Verde Mimetico (MRP-327) and Bruno Mimetico (MRP-322). They're airbrush-ready acrylic lacquers. Cross referencing from the CMPR chart, they were the best matches I could find. I'm glad to know they loo...

Thank you for the reply. Believe me, I'm not offended by your recommendation. Just disappointed ; I'd hoped I had this figured out. If I may ask, if you have example, would you be so kind as to post a photo here, so I can study it? I believe it would be very helpful.

It's taken a couple of false starts, stripping & repainting, a lot of practice, but I think I'm close. Before I go farther, I would appreciate some input on what I've got so far:

Not familiar with it.

Thanks very much, Vince. You didn't confuse me; I recognize the profile was just a representation of C9, which is what I needed. Being able to compare that with the information I had was very helpful. And I appreciate the clarification you provided re: the colors and the order about wing fasces help...

Thanks, Vince. You may recall, I'm working on 193-1, 87 Gruppo, 30 Stormo. I'm about to start my 3rd attempt to get this right. As per earlier discussion, "S.79 in Action" shows the aircraft on p. 37 w/ a C9 pattern. The profile, though with an incorrect pattern, shows colors of yellow, green & brow...

I'm still working on my SM-79, which is slow going. If I could see a good color photo of what C9 camouflage looks like, that would be very helpful. Can anyone help out?

Beautifully done!

Beautiful work. I look forward to seeing the final results.

Thanks for the tips, Vince. I'll do some practice both ways and see how it comes out.

Okay, I reworked the leading edge flaps. Paint is on order. I'll do the priming in the meantime. So far, have located only one P.40 video, so really in a quandary on how I'll pull this off..... :crazy: https://i.postimg.cc/p9WWLx4X/20221203-094401.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/WDYvpZ0X/20221203-094419.jpg

THANK YOU SO MUCH for the information and recommendations!!!! I really appreciate it. I was starting to wonder how I was going to tackle this. I'll keep the forum informed.

Thanks for the input! I think it'll be easier for me to just close the flaps. Can you point me to your information? I can use all the help I can get.

Finally finished Hero: The George Beurling Story by Nolan, fascinating and tragic. My build is ALMOST ready for paint. My subject is 193-1 of 87 Gruppo, 30 Stormo. As illustrated in Savoia Marchetti S.79 in Action , it appears the camouflage scheme is CB 10 B, found in the CMPR color guide. If anyon...
