Brilliant! Incredible job considering what you started with. I love these old SMER kits and what you can do with them.

That's really amazing! I never imagined that a SMER kit could look that great....

I love the Fiat G.55, especially in Luftwaffe colours.

Best regards from Germany

Hey! I agree, looks very tidy build and great camouflage.

Those are Humbrol enamels, with various post-shading. Let me go home and I'll be able to tell you which numbers I used for the 74/75/76

Bellissimo! Stento a credere si possa raggiungere un simile
risultato dal kit Smer. Mi piacerebbe vedere il w.i.p.
E' possibile?
Ciao e complimenti

Amazing!!
Those SMER kits can be quite rough out of the box.
You have done a brilliant job! One of the best G55s I have seen.
Vincent.

Massimo, should I repeat myself, but you improve your skills with each new model and with this one, you cannot move backward now! FORZA!

Grazie per il w.i.p. un lavoro straordinario, ho salvato le sequenze, dato che posseggo da anni il kit, da
quando era ancora Artiplast (sc. 1/50 non 1/48) e credo che presto vi metterò mano finalmente grazie a te.
