You did a terrific job! Thank you for posting your masterpiece. A little while ago Hannants posted a re-release of the Supermodel CANT Z.506 (pre-orders only). I never managed to get the kit but I'm hoping Italeri will relase the kit again sometime soon. Beautiful work.

Wow thx guys, Im glad you liked her. TYhe supermodel kit is ok. It has raised panel lines but seeing as the majority of the plane was made of wood, there arnt that many to rescribe. It needs an interior really as its definately a bit on the sparse side but aside from that its great. Good plastic, fair bit of flash, but hey thats all part of the fun isnt it...Mmmm, now what next, a CR 42 anyone?

I love older kits getting the treatment, and you've done this elegant bird justice! One question if I may: is the position of the "cant" oval-triangular logo on the nose sides called by the instructions that way?

Thx again all. M.lactiva, i think it was. I can go and check. Why, is it wrong? It wouldnt be the first time LOL.
I collect every instruction sheet as part of my finishing 'Ritual'. I hole punch them then put them in a binder. So's i can always go back and check on stuff if i fancy. I know, very sad.
