Tbolt Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 That is really nice. Your weathering is superb, especially the faded paint work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrzeM Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Fuad, your model is extremely good. Congratulations!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vh-bob Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Well done Faud, your model makes me question my policy of not weathering mine. While some don't like these older kits with their raised panel lines etc., what would we Regia Aeronautica fans do without these former Supermodel kits. Great Work, Trev.

mike kippenhan Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Faud, This is really nice. Great job. I'm interested in how you weathered the upper surfaces. Did you take any in progress shots? cn you post a close up? Thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have the original kit at hand but as far I am aware the supermodel kit did not have recessed panel lines like the Italeri re-edition ... And another stunning model as always from you !!

I discovered that this is old "Supermodel" from scalemates.com site. "Italeri| altered this set, to improve it and add the some etched parts.

RidgeRunner Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 A great build in the only true scale ;). If you can make a boxing look that great why do we need 1/48... 1/32... 1/24? Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can make a boxing look that great why do we need 1/48... 1/32... 1/24? Martin The 72nd scale is a royal scale. You should know this without me. I am not an Englishman, but I respect the old traditions. And if without pathos, then my collection (now 167 units) will be on a large scale, then it will simply have nowhere to store.
