Very well done ! -
The good old '163 Academy requires various interventions, both in the cockpit area… …and in the exterior of the fuselage, in the wings and finally in the complex undercarriage-skid. The specimen being built is the Me163 B V45, in charge of the Erprobungskommando 16, as it appeared in Bad Zwischenahn in July 1944. The following December it was used to test the SG500 rocket system, which caused irreparable damage to the airframe. The camouflage scheme, slightly different from that of most Komets, consists of RLM 81/82/76. The fuselage decals are Print Scale 72-303 and, as always, the model is painted entirely by brush with Humbrol Enamels color blends. View of the undersurfaces. Hope you like it. Thanks for your interest. Giampiero Piva

Ju-88 A-4 Torpedo Bomber ICM 1/48
Giampiero Piva replied to VolkerR.'s topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Outstanding work. Bravo ! -
Designed in 1935, the FW58 'Weihe' honorably performed the role of trainer, liaison, casualty transport aircraft War (earning it the nickname 'Leukoplast-Bomber') during the, but a small fraction of aircraft were also employed in the end of 1942 and the following year as an night assault/harassment aircraft on the Eastern Front. The SH kit is good, it also includes resin parts and a set of photoetched parts, but it's still a short run, so the modifications, big and small, have been numerous, especially in the cockpit and in the area of both the engines and of the landing gear wells. The aircraft chosen is a FW58 C belonging to the 1./Störkampfgruppe Luftwaffenkommando 'Ost', which operated in the Orel area in February/March 1943. The rather simple camouflage was obtained with Humbrol Enamels applied exclusively with a brush; the decals are from OWL sheet D72009. The underside. Hope you like it. Thanks for your interest Giampiero Piva

Bf109 F-4 Trop – Fine Molds 1/72 – (2023)

Thanks all for looking and dropping the likes and positive feedback. I appreciate it! -
The model is not at the level of the new Eduard kit, but with the help of the Aires set for the interior and some small modifications an honorable reproduction of the 'Friedrich' can be obtained. The aircraft chosen is that of the Oltn. Bauer, of the 9./JG 3, operating from Frolov in August 1941. Characteristic of the aircraft of this squadron was the camouflage, obtained by modifying the scheme in RLM 78/79 with the addition of green 70 and gray 75. This modification it was carried out in Germany, so much so that the factory stencils were re-applied on the various surfaces. The colors used for the model are Gloy, slightly modified, while the decals come from the Eduard kit. Small note: even in reality the yellow of the codes (RLM 27 ?) appears lighter than that of the band on the fuselage (RLM 04). As always the kit is entirely brushpainted. The undersurfaces. Hope you like it. Thanks for your interest Giampiero Piva
