Night Witchers Pt.2...1/48 Fiat CR.42 LW, 2./NSGr.9 - NEW PICS ADDED


Recommended Posts

#10/2016

And my dad finished another dual build.

As I already mentioned in the first part, NSGr9 used Fiat CR42 before they transitioned to Stukas when they operated in Italy 1944. The aircrafts were slightly adapted to Luftwaffe needs, adding some camo, adding UV cockpit light, partly radio mast, and if it´s true they were also at some point equipped with ETC racks and German bombs.

A typical Italeri kit somewhere between good and bad. Mostly built oob, added seatbelts and Italian bombs from the normal Italeri CR42 kit. Although this kit should depict a nightbomber, it hasn´t any bombs included...
Regarding the decals, the white outlined "A" is printed slightly out of register. My dad saw that too late so he couldn´t use other kit markings instead. He had the most struggle with the partly bad fitting wing struts and was partly close to trash the kit but he managed to overcome his anger happy.gif
Painted as usual with Gunze and Tamiya acrylics.

The model shows an aircraft of 2./NSGr.9 in Italy 1944.

Beautiful work as usual Reini, really attractive camo scheme. I built one of these a few years ago in a Regia Aeronautica scheme, and can recall huffing and puffing over the fit of those wing struts!
