Special Hobby is a bit harder to work with but this model is despite its complexity with resin parts, no location pins etc is actually very easy to build. One should study instruction sheet and online build logs, dry fit a lot and the build will be enjoyable. Great plus for this model is phenomenal transparent parts and very quality decal sheets. Downside of the model is some mould marks on some parts of the tail surfaces, as well as uncomplete moulding on several cowling halves (luckily there is enough cowlings for 8 engines, so no worries). For painting, I use STORMO site and forum for references. Kit represents famous MM2003 from 274. squadriglia on which Bruno Mussolinni died.
Painting is done with H&S Evolution airbrush in the following steps:
Base color was Humbrol 81 Pale yellow matt as Giallo Mimetico 2-3
Then, a mix of Gunze H7 and H17 to represent Marrone Mimetico 53193 was spreyed in the following pattern:
Then, at the end I believe it was Gunze H302 as Verde Mimetico 2
Later, I used Tamiya gloss and Tamiya flat base for the final clear coats.
