JWM Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 (edited) Hi Years ago the Revell CR 42 was the only one on the market. I made it for the first time about 40 years ago, and some 20 years ago I was not able to accept any longer it bad look. I removed old paint and tried to reshape as much as possible. I made wider rear part of fuselage by about 1.5 mm but still it remains too round, I am affraid. I reshaped the cowling and the undercarridge as weel as added some inlets and outlets of air. At present much better kits are available (Pavla - second hand and Italeri) so perhaps one day I will try again to model this very nice Fiat last biplane. Markings are from 162 Sq., 161 Gruppo, Scarpanto (Aegan Sea area), IV-V 1941 so from the war against Grecce. Decals by Esci (also about 40 yrs old now, rather tick...) Please have a look - comments welcome Regrads Jerzy-Wojtek Edited July 26, 2017 by JWM Switch to Flickr 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerndM Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Nice paint job, italian camos are always a challenge, did this one decades ago, in my youth, the result was bad but i remember it was a nice kit. And can be build into a nice little gem, as yours ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrardandrews Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Brilliant looking model, and a great paint 🎨 finish, very old kit, made to look very nice. made this kit myself, early 70s, loved it back then, always a type that appeared in the comic books 📚 at the time😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
