Hi guys, here my nearly full scratch build Savoia sm.95 in 1/72 scale.

Hope u like it

finished model is very big, and I could not picture it in a better way, due to my limited working space. Hope u like it anyway

I like that very much Paolo, you've done an excellent job especially as you say that it is mostly scratchbuilt!? Very well done indeed - a beautiful looking model and very nostalgic too!! :tasty:

yes. I said mostly cause part of the fuselage (rudders and a 10 ctms section near the tail) is coming from an sm.82

[John_W]

Very Pretty.

Just had a quick Google, interesting aircraft.

Fascinating build! Have you scratched fuselage and wings? What technique did you use to do these? Vacforming?

And it's great to see a model of an aircraft type that you start googling about. Very educational! Thanks for that

Hi Paolo:

Wonderful build and very nice finished model of a not common subject well chosen and magnificently built. Works like yours deserved a WIP to look how did you do to create this nice looking and elegant machine.

Thank you very much for sharing,

Cheers,

Mightily impressive job. A little-known subject for me, but seeing your article, I now have learnt something. Thank you for sharing your very nice model!

thanks so much guys. Glad you like my model.

The building process is a combined technique of vacuforming and sand thick plastic pieces. I usually work with plasticard 3 mm thick, allowing me to work well on the edge parts. Is not too hard as it sounds, I mostly need a decent reference and blueprint to be sure of what I am doing, very often there is not so much around about those machines of the past. To learn theme is fascinating also for me.

This model is a unique piece (as my cant z. 1012) belonging to the biggest alfa Romeo model collection of the world, which I am cooperating since 15 yrs.

I train myself on those kinda building with racing cars. who reads me also in automotive forum probably knows I like a lot to create stuff not on the market. recently I start also trucks in big scale.

The satisfaction to create stuff from nothing is a very nice feeling.

glad you like this. thank you again to all

O yeah - that is something! This size machine made out of scrtach is a real challange. Congratulations!

A stunning piece of work and an interesting aircraft that I wasn't familiar with. Terrific modelling skills on display.
