Epimedium Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 A nicely detailed kit, with good fit overall. The main problem is in attaching the top wing which has very vague locating points. I managed to weld mine together with lots of super glue. The decals from Cartograph are very nice and behave well but the white and yellow are allowing the paint from the camo to show through quite a lot so that is a shame. Kit manufacture: Italeri Scale: 1/72 Type: CR.32 Chirri Extras used: Uschi super fine rigging thread, metal wire foot hold Paints and colours used: Tamiya custom mixes for yellow, grey and brown. Green dashes xf71 cockpit green. Flory dark dirt wash and Tamiya flat clear Military Aviazione Legionaria (Italian Legionary Air Force 1936-1939) Sqn. a. Aut. Mitragliamento Frecce 3-6 (Capitano Ferruccio Vosilla) Spanish Civil War, Munesia Spain, April 1938 Thanks Jason 38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatbox8 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Another very smart Spanish Civil War build. I see what you mean with the white decals but it doesn't detract from a great build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin1967 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I really like this model, particularly the camouflage and the fact it's a bi-plane of sorts and I understand the problems you can encounter building them. Very well done Sir! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch K Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 That is truly beautiful! I have one of these, part built. I'd spent two evenings fitting the upper wing then my wife dropped a box of tools on it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viking Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 That brings back memories of my build theme of WW2 Italian aircraft about 30 years ago. I seem to recall a 1/50th Artiplast CR.32 in my collection, but it was no where near as good as yours! Cheers John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyTiger66 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Another nice SCW build Jason. I have a few of these in the stash, but the strut attachment challenge is keeping them low down in the 'to do' pile. Your custom mix colours look great.

Vinnie Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Lovely looking model. How long did the paintwork take? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too long a couple hours I think, I just used it thinned quite a lot with leveling thinners and made sure I just put a blob instead of brushing it as it would melt the paint off! Then it dried and settled down nicely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horatio Gruntfuttock Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Lovely clean build Jason - and what a wonderful set of markings. Great paint job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 (edited) Que maravillosa! Lovely Chirri! I built the old Supermodel kit in very similar markings many, many years ago (I still have it). I do want this Italeri kit, but I believe I'm going to be timid and do it in the all-silver Balearic scheme. I've always loved SCW aircraft, and the CR.32 has always been a particular favourite (it's so Art Deco!).

Yes it's a nice kit, I do believe this is the super model kit with upgraded molds, whatever that means! Nice decals though, apart from the transparency of the white. Thanks for all the comments it means a lot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
