  1. (Paul Hollywood voice) "I want four, identical, Fiat G.55s, each decorated differently." My three recent Sword Fiat G.55s: Plus the one I made earlier this year: And all together on the tea table: The WIP thread is here if you are interested. I must have enjoyed making them because another double boxing has snuck into the stash! (edit) while I was rearranging the hobby room, I found the Supermodel and FROG versions that I made at the turn of the year, so here's a picture to show the plain green over grey FROG model and one of the alternative splinter schemes on the Supermodel:
  2. I have great satisfaction that I managed to finish this Fiat, the model is quite nice and it was fun to build especially as the parts fit perfectly. The biggest challenge I faced with it was how to build it? What to change and improve? Thanks to my friend Marcin, who suggested building it VINTAGE. And that's how I built it, without any changes. It's just a pity that it sat on a cupboard for a few years.
  3. I found such a marvel from "Smer" in my stocks and was wondering what to do with it, a deep valorisation. That is, re-routing the lines and riveting and making the interior from scratch or leaving it as it is. I also wanted to give it just a bit of a facelift and redo the cab and its cowl and also make an inlet and outlet in the radiator and do something to improve the undercarriage. But after discussions with my colleagues it is thanks to Marcin that I will make it in the VINTAGE version, that is, I don't fix anything just put it together. That's my hope for a quick project, sometimes you need to de-stress. There are two camouflage versions in the kit and I had no problem choosing and I am making an Italian for the collection. Below is the in-box of the kit and as the model is years old I think everyone knows it.
  4. Fresh from building the Supermodel and FROG versions of this, I have now run out of obsolete kits, so i will have to build a modern one! This is available as a double boxing at a very reasonable price. You get two lots of parts like this: ...including a resin bit for the wheel well detail round the engine area. Neat. Decals are for a very generous seven schemes (one already used for my FROG build): The trailing edges of the wings are rather blobby on the inside surfaces so I have scraped them down (just the port one here): ...which results in a much thinner trailing edge (on the left): I have started assembly by gluing together the wings, air intake, cockpit, radiator and fuselage bulkheads: I've managed to get the first gluey thumbprint in already!
  5. After many years I finally managed to find all the parts and complete the model Fiat G.55 "Centauro" Sottoserie 0, MM 91064 "11", 1 Squadriglia "Gigi Tre Osei", 2 gruppo ANR, may 1944 in 1:48 scale published by Special Hobby, the machine is in experimental camouflage. Despite these several years of lying the model I do not remember that there were any problems with it in construction, the fit of parts very good. The only addition is montex-mask masks. Enjoy your viewing.
  6. While doing some organizing in my modeling stash, I came across a model of a Fiat G.55 "Centauro" sottoserie 0 in 1:48 a published by Special Hobby. The construction of it began a good few years ago. But during some work in the workshop I lost some of the finished parts and couldn't find them, and the model flew to the shelf waiting for me to find the parts. Finally, I managed to complete all the parts and you can move with the end of its construction. In such a state he was waiting for the end of work on him. And here's a set of parts that I lost somewhere for several years.
  7. So I decided to do my first build report here on BM. I progressed already quite a bit on this model, so not a start from opening the box I'm afraid. The Sword 2 in 1 kit is imho a joy to build, and goes together as easily as any mainstream kit you'd care to mention. No RS headaches here! I decided to make one of the two with an experimental splinter camo, seen on some planes in 1943. With the aid of the BM community (thanks @fubar57 & @SafetyDad !) I could tweak the scheme as good to my ability. Hope you like it. No worries putting everything together as per the instructions; this kit will fit. See? Never mind that stroke of Mr Surfacer.. Cannon barrels were drilled out and some Albion Alloy tubes were inserted. The intake tube got a support flange. I was a bit late adding the navigation lights, but did so before spraying the camo pattern. But.. Alclad Aqua Gloss and decals and.. Aaaghh..! I totally forgot the cowling guns. Out came the pin-vise again.. To be continued.. Thanks for watching, Cheers, Luka
  8. Hi all, I have the Fiat G.55 double kit from Sword, and one of my camo choices is the tricolour splinter pattern. It's a pattern that was applied to some G.55's as an experiment. It looks like each pattern was unique, judging from the photo's I could find. However, the scheme in the kit's instructions (black 7) seems to be a mix from other schemes, and I can't find a photo of this plane. There are enough colour profiles online, often with contradictory schemes, but does anybody know of a photo of black 7? This one;
