Excellent build!
Can you write a bit about it?
How is the Italieri kit? Any issues building it? (I have Supermodel version of this kit)
Camouflage is outstanding, looks like several replacement parts and over painting in some sections.

Dear Lazycat
please escuse me but my english it is not so good...I have reviewed the Italeri kit of S.M. 81 on web site www.modellismosalento.it , sezione recensioni; the text is in italian but there are many pictures with the Supermodel and Italeri kit. The kits are not the same: there are some differents ...The engines in the Italeri are A.R. 135 and K 14, the decals are very beautiful but the K 14 of 606 sq. in Lybia it is not real...Do you have Ali d'Italia n. 29 on S.M. 81 ?

Gabriele,
Thank you for the link. I'm just looking at your revue of Italieri kit.
- No I don't have Ali d'Italia n. 29 on S.M. 81.
Looks that when I will be building mine I will have to get it.
