Borisz Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Hello!Here is my finished SM.79 Sparviero.The construction took half a year, actually I was tired at the end.As usual the Italeri's painting guide was false, and the camo. does not match on the two only shots what I've found about the 28-11, however are taken from the same side. So my camo are 'something like that'.I had the chanse to paint it to the 2 tona camo, but I didnt liked it. The flash light may show the colors lighter than these actually are. And here it is: And finaly, You can read the project in this topic.In some words, I can say, this is a good kit, and gives a satisfiing result OOB too, but be careful with the aerials wich beeings are depending on series, and with the painting. 35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch K Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Superb! Please put a post in the "Ready for Inspection" area: I'm sure there are many people who have not seen this and would very much like to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Beautiful Sparviero! That's one I need for my SCW collection. Regards, Jason 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Excellent build and a beautiful, convoluted cammo that must have been fun to paint! Are the decals part of the Italeri kit? I have never seen it, but I believe it is much better than the old Airfix one... There are just too many engines for me! Well done JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borisz Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) Superb! Please put a post in the "Ready for Inspection" area: I'm sure there are many people who have not seen this and would very much like to. Thank you. As far as I know, this topic is in the "Ready for Inspection". Excellent build and a beautiful, convoluted cammo that must have been fun to paint! Are the decals part of the Italeri kit? I have never seen it, but I believe it is much better than the old Airfix one... There are just too many engines for me! Well done JR Thank you. Yes, these decals are from the kit. Actually, id. numbers need to be trimmed, those given in one huuuuge sheet, with a lot of shinee 'transparent' area. I think this one is much better than the Airfix indeed.

JOCKNEY Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Congratulations Borisz Really great finish and I hope a just reward for sticking with it and seeing it through to completion even when it wasn't going as planned taking too long etc. many of us myself included would have consigned it to the shelf of doom and started something else ! Kind regards Pat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight_Flyer Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Well done on seeing it through to completion. Paint finish looks great and agree this scheme is quite nice. I've already collected a number of half built models that will take some time to complete down to lack of motivation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerndM Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Stunning build, the paint job and the nice details all around, are really nice. Congratulations ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doozer1974 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Great camo work on this Sparrowhawk, Borisz. I made a bit of a hand painted hash of my old Italeri one, so have just bought a Trumpeter 1/48 one to give myself another go at a 3 tone camo job!
