And so the interior of the cabin came out, but still without the complete rear gunner's station.

 

[(WIP) Bf-110 G-2/R3 1:48 REVELL]

Another Bf-110 G-2/R3 in 1:48 from REVELL has just arrived in the workshop, a model I started years ago and which is currently sitting in a box on the cupboard, so the tidying up continues. And if all goes well I might be able to get it done this weekend, I have almost all the parts cut out and ready for assembly and painting. The extras are only the DETAIL SET from AIRESA and the masks from MONTEX-MASK, but only the cabin itself because they were in the box. The model will be in boxed painting and will depict a machine from 5./ZG 76 Reichsverteidigung, winter 1944.

And another model completed and the photos go to the gallery, S.M. 79-II "Sparviero", 283 squadriglia, 130 gruppo autonoma, Mediterranean 1942. feel free to visit the gallery.

Model completed, I know there are some inaccuracies but I wanted to do it straight from the box. In summary the build went smoothly, the parts fitted together, a pleasure. Now I have one more "Sparviero" model waiting for me, but this one will be from the EDUARD kit. The last photo is in the workshop and for the rest I invite you to the gallery.

Finally managed to take photos for the gallery, I know photos taken quickly but you can see something on them. I invite you to view the gallery of the Northrop P-61 A "Black Widow" model. - "Lady Gen", Florennes, Belgium, december 1944.

The painting of the markings from the masks as well as the laying of the decals was successful, not everything had to be painted from the masks. The end is near so it is high time to look around for the next model.

 

[S.M.79 – II „Sparviero” 1:48 Trumpeter]

I finished last night and forgive me but I didn't want to post anymore, I was too sleepy. For now the camouflage has been applied at the ready, I still have to use the paint masks and decals.

 

Ps. Thanks for the hints.

 

[S.M.79 – II „Sparviero” 1:48 Trumpeter]

This kind of camouflage not yet finished but already happy, I still have some left to finish. 

 

[S.M.79 – II „Sparviero” 1:48 Trumpeter]

The beginning of the game, this is the moment I always enjoy. Painting freehand without masking or stencils. By the way you can see my mess on my makeshift workshop. I am waiting for the end of the renovation at home to move to an already normal workshop.

Does the kit come with the machine guns?  It seems these are extremely fiddly little kits all their own.

Hi there, they are printed in the kit but the quality is poor. Barrels to replace, and the kit lacks spare magazines. That's why I bought the kits for myself and they're not skimpy, it just looks that way.

[(WIP) PZL P.24 B IBG 1:72]

After a long break, the P.24B is also back in the workshop. By reviewing the documentation and available materials and photos, and consulting with colleagues, I changed the colour of the underside to Polish blue instead of silver.

 

[(WIP) LWS-6 „Żubr” 1:48 Art. of Trans]

After a long break I am slowly getting back to the "Bison", but I already know that the work will go on and on for a long time. And I have a vision of what the finished model should look like. I have already managed to gather all the available documentation, at least I think so.  And of the extras that can be added to it are a set of bombs from MIRAGE, pilot belts and rifles. My plan is to build all the Polish aircraft models then I have already bought various rifles in advance as you can see in the picture. So now I'm taking on the lower rear gunner's position.

 

[S.M.79 – II „Sparviero” 1:48 Trumpeter]

Base on top laid and now it will be fun to play with camouflage.

 

[S.M.79 – II „Sparviero” 1:48 Trumpeter]

Thanks for the materials provided. The white stripe on the fuselage painted and masked and I did the same with the underside.

 

[S.M.79 – II „Sparviero” 1:48 Trumpeter]

A bit of fun and the torpedo including the mount is almost ready, one will be suspended and the other on a trolley. This is my plan. And here I have a small problem, namely how to paint the torpedo? I'm asking because I have several different versions and I don't know which is the correct one. And the next problem is does anyone have drawings of the transport trolley for the torpedo? I would be extremely grateful.

 

[S.M.79 – II „Sparviero” 1:48 Trumpeter]

Undercarriage flaps replaced with new sheet metal. Still a torpedo and it will be possible to start playing with the camouflage.

 

[S.M.79 – II „Sparviero” 1:48 Trumpeter]

The arming of tinsel continues.

 

[(WIP) LWS-6 „Żubr” 1:48 Art. of Trans]

The project has not been suspended but is just waiting for additions and documentation, but construction will start soon. 

[S.M.79 – II „Sparviero” 1:48 Trumpeter]

Playing with tinsel goes all the way.

I'm tempted to get one of these, this is great inspiration and modelling

 

Buy while it's available from Eduard, I have to pick up owls from the shop.

[S.M.79 – II „Sparviero” 1:48 Trumpeter]

With a small interlude the work continues, preparation for painting. But with this interlude I will boast because such an interlude is a challenge and a very big one. I had to postpone everything for the express construction of the Polish aircraft TS-11 "Iskra" in 1:72 as a birthday present for the pilot who made his first flight on it.

Hi Kriss,

 

great start. Now that Eduard has reboxed the CA kit with some of their goodies, it will be interesting to see what can be done with the Trumpeter kit.

 

Now you said this is intended to be a relaxing build, so I guess you are not going to correct the errors of the kit like the too large cowl openings and too short stabilizers to name the most prominent? Anyhow, if interested, this build shows how to correct them if inclined to do so: https://www.stormomagazine.com/ModelArticles/SM79/PDixon/SM79_PD_1a.html

 

Cheers

Hi, thanks for the info but I wasn't planning to change anything on the model apart from the mentioned additions. I already have it so that when I take a model to the workshop, the plan of its construction is also defined and I stick to it and do not change anything anymore. "Sparviero" from the EDUARD edition is already waiting for me in the shop for collection and I will go crazy with this model.

[S.M.79 – II „Sparviero” 1:48 Trumpeter]

Work continues, the sheet metal is assembled and the interior is ready.

 

[S.M.79 – II „Sparviero” 1:48 Trumpeter]

So undercarriage shin together with tailwheel corrected, but still almost all of it will be out of sight.

 

[S.M.79 – II „Sparviero” 1:48 Trumpeter]

Pre-assembled cabin interior including instrument panel from YAHU and belts from EDUARD.

S.M.79 - II "Sparviero" 1:48 Trumpeter
Just for relaxation and to de-stress in the break between building PZL P.24B and LWS-6 "Żubr" and renovation at home, I threw on the workshop such a quick project almost straight out of the box. Model S.M.79-II "Sparviero" in 1:48 from Trupeter and from the extras are:
-YAHU MODELS - YMA4840 Instrument panel
-MONTEX - Maxi mask MM 48026
-PART S48-121 exterior
-EDUARD Seatbelts Italy

The model has been known for years so only these photos to start with go. By the way this will be such a tease to paint the Italian camouflage while waiting for the call from the shop that my S.M.79 "Sparviero" model from EDUARD in 48 is now available for collection.
