Re: Italeri Macchi C.205 Veltro
MR. Davenport I forgot to mention the Air Preasure should be low between 8 to 10 psi.

Re: Italeri Macchi C.205 Veltro
Hello, I as a comparison used the decals and painted. These are my findings. They take a long time to apply. You do not get the slight overspray as on the real aircraft. With the right airbrush as the H and S with a .015 needle and Laquer paint such as MRP you get a more realistic finish. I find pai...

Re: Articles about painting WW2 Italian Aircraft.
Good morning Tim. I don t know of any articles to recommend, but maybe I can help. First get some M R P lacquer paint. an airbrush with a . 02 or .015 needle. Set your air pressure to eight or ten lb. pressure. Get close to your work and paint your blotches. When you have completed your desired effe...

Cabin windows
Gentlemen I have good news and bad news. First with the good. I have come up with a simple but time-consuming way to get your cabin windows to sit flush with the exterior. This procedure has been developed for resen and vac-formed kits, but can be used on any kit. What I have devised is very simple....

I have some time on my hands so I was thinking about what airplanes I would like to see produced by a manufacturer, I AM SICK AND TIRED OF SEEING COMPANIES PRODUCING THE SAME AIRCRAFT. How many times are we going to be subjected to the likes of the Bf 109, Spitfire, Hurricane, Mustang, and the like?...

Clear fuselage
I have been building a few models of airliners recently. To my dismay the most difficult thing is to get the windows to sit flush with the outer fuselage surfaces. I was wondering why the manufacturers do not produce the fuselages in clear plastic. What is the best way to bring this subject to the m...

Savioa Marchetti SM 75
I am converting an SM 75 airliner to the racer registration I TALO. I do not have a plane view. Can someone inform me if the top and bottom wings carried the Italian flag? Thank you for your help in this matter.

Having built a few Special Hobby kits I know they are difficult. You have done a brilliant job. Great work.

Re: Savioa Marchetti SM 83
Just be happy that we will not live long enough to see the final destruction of our once beautiful mighty nation. The democrats are the scum of the world; Some of the Republicans are just as bad. I am so disappointed in Barr I thought he was a straight shooter but he has proven otherwise. The swamp ...

Re: Savioa Marchetti SM 83
I will be giving up building soon. The biggest reason living in Morocco it is almost impossible to get supplies. No liquids can come through the mail. Going on 86 years of age my eyes are getting bad, need magnifying glasses to see well. I have several models waiting for decals, sent away three time...

Re: Savioa Marchetti SM 83
Thank you very much for the information. I will buy the 87 and see if I can build the landing gear. I have built the 87 not one of my better builds; had a lot of trouble with the cabin windows. I ended up using white glue for them, and I do not like the results I achieved.
Again RIC thank you.
