Breda Ba.65 A-80 Special Hobby 1/48


Recommended Posts

Back in action after holiday and moving house . Now for the first time in over 5 years my house and man-cave are together .

 

I found it hard to get over the inertia that can build up after a lengthy pause in the construction of a slightly complex model .

any way got the wing parts together and painted so they can be assembled and it feels real good to get back into the swing of it . only problem is im off to Malta on Tuesday for a week (going to visit all the military museums and read Malta : The Hurricane Years 1940-41  Chris Shores and Brian Cull .

 

Today i gave the wing interior areas a coat of black primer followed by  a light coat of Mr color Aircraft grey-green .

this looks similar to the green used  by the Italians as i dont want to purchase a bottle of paint that will probably not be used again .

The undercarriage legs are supposed to be attached at this point but i rather not have the danger of knocking them off for the next month during the expected filling and sanding process .

Hi Arnold

 

I have been plodding away at it and am now at the painting stage and some life color paints have arrived in the post .

This is a difficult and slow kit to do and has taken lots of time and effort to keep going leaving none for picture taking and posting .

No Italian shelf so will live with some aircraft ammunition until it gets a mate .
