Triumph Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 (edited) Hi people, so an out the box build, with just a little mod to open up the hump, otherwize a stright foreward job......but then came the camo....the model is all brush painted so took a few days to paint needless to say. Hope you like.ohhh and the decals were a nightmare as they would not peel from the backing, theres only 10 of them and 6 gave me trouble but all was fine in the end, I elected to have the codes on the white panel because TBH you could not see them on the camo otherwise. So not bothered that it's wrong like that.Found me a hot sunny airstrip and a little dio as to how she will be on displayBox art that I followed(ish) Edited September 9, 2016 by Triumph 39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Modeller Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 (edited) Very nice indeed and I love your super clean unweathered approach to modelling, too many models nowadays are severely over weathered and often because people think they should go with a trend just because it's the current vogue? Personally I don't like that and commend people like yourself who display individuality in their work? It is after all, just a model and as such was never 'in battle' so to speak, but each to their own if that's what they like .... but I prefer your style and that is some super neat brush painting!! Very well done sir!! :Tasty: Kev Edited August 25, 2016 by Mr Modeller 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triumph Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 Yes don't get me wrong I like a well weathered build too I just can't do it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polo1112 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 A fantastic and very well painted Sparviero. This camouflage could turn me very quickly mad, but you made a piece of art of it. About the weathering, I can say that I agree 100% with Mr Modeller. I never weather my models, they all are just off factory. Great job you did there Triumph!!! :goodjob: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 (edited) One has to admit the Italians had a lot of style (and still have)! Beautiful aircraft, great camos, etc... Your Sparviero is gorgeous and is a hell of a tribute to the brave crews who flew them. One had to be slightly mad to fly a torpedo-totting plane, whichever side one fought for! Congratulations JR Edited August 24, 2016 by jean 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triumph Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 (edited) Thanks for your comments people I guess these count as a sort of work in progress, but I just wanted to record the build with the painting and the build up of the camo and in the early stages how I was still going with a closed up hump but I'm very pleased I modded and opened it up Edited August 24, 2016 by Triumph 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navy Bird Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Very nice paintwork, even more impressive that this is by hand. I have the 1:72 Italeri kit and Eduard Big Ed set waiting in my stash. Someday... Cheers, Bill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 That amazing camouflage is a real eye opener and perfectly rendered. Then, I particularly like those maintenance dio photos. Impressive work! Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPMS19 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 - The result is stunning.Hand painting for this kind of solid edges camo is the best way to easily achieve it and most of all , no fastidious masking job.......Well done 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacificmustang Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 WOW, Great to see this kit built, and in such a superb manner too. You have made me want one, and to me that's what displaying built models on these pages is all about. Inspiring other modellers. Well done Bruce 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
