Hi Gabriele

Great job! I really liked the Sm.82. This kit is in my "wish-list" but I haven't made up my mind yet whether is a good project or not. Do you have any comments? Did you use any post-market items on that model?

Thanks for your reply!

Cheers

Alex

Brendan, Vincent and Alex thanks for your kind answers.
Alex: I used onlyi the coats engine from the detail set AIC-72014 of Alitaliane for SM82 Luftwaffe VI-VIII (you may see it on www.modellismosalento.it, into "recensioni" corner ). The front windows of cokpit are wrongs, there are some small problems beetween fouselage and the trasparent cokpit; you must use the putty beetween wing rootsnear and the fouselage. But it is very good comparing wiht aviation usk !!!
That is my S.82 from aviation usk:

I made with more difficulties shortly before leaving kit Italeri...
I will review the kit of Italeri for modellismo salento during that week...

Ciao Gabriele

Without a doubt the new Sm 82 looks nicer than the previous one.

I was wondering for a while if some PE parts from the Sm.79 would also be usable for the Sm.82. I was looking at some pictures of the big Marsupiale at Vigna del Valle and some of the internal arrangements seemed quite similar (I may be completely off here, these were private pictures from a friend without much detail). I will look into that shoud I decided to build a SM.82.

I will definitely read your review.

Cheers, saluti

Alex
