Here's some pics of my "folgore", not finished yet. The kit was quickly built, just to be a support for testing my new Iwata Micron.
My apologizes to the specialists for the my mistakes, this is my first folgore, certainly not the last.
Thanks for looking

Welcome Alph,
Nice work on the Folgore...in 1/72 yet, wow. Iwata makes real nice sprayers don't they? I have two of them. So I'm gonna guess that the rings are hand sprayed and not decals, yes?

Hi Alph,
I think your airbrush passed the test. The smoke rings look great.
Kind regards,
Adam

thank you all,
the model was painted whith Tamiya acrylics : XF66+XF-2, xf-59, xf-65 +xf-61 for the "smoke rings" (hand sprayed), and yes the Iwata works well for this kind of job. I've got a lot of sprayers, include the "Infinity", and I never found a better airbrush than the Iwata "Micron", except the Olympos "micron" wich is basicaly the same.
I'm very glad you like my "folgore"
Thanks again.
regards
ALPH
