doozer1974 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 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 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I've always had a soft spot for the CR.42, those stubby lower wings and the warren girder bracing make it stand out. Superb model, the camouflage is beautifully done. Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmcclure Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 That's a challenging finish to get to that standard - very well done indeed. Cheers, Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
