Hi Some months ago I posted photos of my scratch build of Caproni Ca 309 Ghilbi http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234971248-caproni-309-ghibli-scratch-172/ Continuing - next from Caproni shelf - the Ca 310 Libeccio in Norwegian markings. Norway had only four Ca 310 received, although initially they wanted 24 of them. In net it is now easy to find some photos: http://www.airwar.ru/image/idop/bww2/ca310/ca310-15.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caproni_Ca.310#/media/File:Caproni310.jpg It was much worse years ago when I was making this model... I made this model as scratch conversion of Italeri Ca 311 about 10 years ago. Whole fuselage is a scratch construction. In fact - it is even worse. The whole model is made from resin, all parts which are the same with Ca 311 like wings, engines, propellers, tail are resin copies of Italeri Ca 311, not the original styrene parts. I had just one Ca 311 and wanted to do have two models...Or rather three - since some copies were used also to construct Ca 309. Obviously it would be much simplier to convert them from normal plastic kit. But those days Ca 311 was not available at all. And this way there was more fun, do you agree? -I hope "yes"! I made it on wheels - It is likely that during German invasion in April 1940 she should wear skis, not wheels. But I did not have drawings for skis. So I made wheels. Nowadays there is a nice model from MPM with skis already in...However - I found recently in net a photo of captured Ca 310 in Stavanger - and she is on wheels. Anyway - mine is on wheels http://xoomer.virgilio.it/f5avipatches/ca%20310%20page.html So, mine Ca 310 looks like this: Thank you for watching - comments welcome Regards Jerzy-Wojtek
