Fiat CR.42 Falco. One of only four survivors Regia Aeronautica aircraft MM5701 is on display at the RAF Museum in Hendon, pics mine. This aircraft was captured on 11 November 1940 when it suffered an overheated engine and was forced to land on the beach at Orfordness, Suffolk. During the summer of 1941, it was flown by the Air Fighting Development Unit in mock combat. At the end of 1943 all testing was complete and the aircraft was marked for preservation.

Hi all For my latest offering, here is Italeri's CR42 Falco in 1/48, in its 'Italian Aces' boxing. This was my first stab at a bi-plane back in 2012/13, and I had plenty of trials and tribulations getting the upper wing aligned with the struts, but otherwise was a pleasurable build. It was airbrushed using Tamiya acrylics, and only weathering applied was an oil-based panel line wash and a bit of drybrushing around the engine. Also shied away from attempting any rigging, maybe next time. Unfortunately, the completed kit got a bit mashed while in storage during some building work at home, with one of the struts getting snapped and some of the smaller attachments being lost, so have had to cobble it back together as best I could. Thanks for looking Adam
