Zigomar Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 This is the plane flown by the Tenant(Lt) Giorgio Solaroli Marquis of Briona of the 74 ° Squadriglia,23° Gruppo, 3° Stormo at Habu Haggag in Lybia in 1942. The plane wears the recently applied badge of the Angry wasp, and the camo is typical of the mid production of Breda. The individual number is painted on the fin in a white triangle, the 74° Squadriglia being known for the many variations of style of numbers.

giemme Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Not surprisingly, an excellent rendition of the beautiful Folgore from you Can I ask how you did the wheel wells? Scratch building or AM? They look excellent, anyway. Ciao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely need to get one if I get round building another Folgore or Veltro. Thanks for the heads up Merci bien Ciao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerndM Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Stunning build of this graceful fighter. Paint work and weathering looks great and the mentioned wheel wells are really impressive with their details. You should display it on a mirror.

Pagey Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Very nice build. I have an eduard limited edition in the stash. The green squiggles have scared me off. How did you do them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matteo44 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Great work Zigomar... Are the green squiggles made by free hand airbrush?? .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Beautiful build of this elegant and racy-looking thoroughbred! As usual, I'm a bit skeptical to paint chipping on the prop blades of an otherwise virtually pristine airframe. Was the Italian prop paint really that prone to falling off? ;-) Magnificent modelling. Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
