Thank you very much for your comments!! 

 

How i said before ... You will not see much of this cockpit, but anyway, i like to close the fuselage with something more or less in good conditions.

What an elegant machine (& bonkers schemes); what's not to like?  Lovely start on the modelling front, too.

 

No, i'm happy with this ... just saying i have to do so much work to finish it. Now i'm correcting something in the fuselage, cockpit, ...

 

Thanks for your comment!!

I continue working with this precious hydro.


The next steps have been to close the fuselage and make some improvements to the area of the seat back, mobile parts of the tail, fuselage covers, machine gun outlet, correction of some unions, etc.

And that's how this bird is before we get into the paint phase.

Yes, I like it a lot, Jamie, you are doing a good job. This Macchi was a great flying machine. It was able to compete with the wheeled fighters.

:yes::yes:

 

Ciao.

Thank you very much Davide! Yes, Indeed it was an extraordinary hydro, not only for its aesthetic but also for its functionality. I will try to do it justice!!
