Breda Ba.88 Lince ; 1/72nd scale


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone , this model was built from the short run MPM kit that goes together without much trouble and has nice details .  The airplane itself , while attractive , had the unfortunate reputation of being one of the worst from that era. It is said the Italians found them more useful as airfield decoy than in the air .

Great stuff! The prop blades should be light blue (RLM 65 is a good match) I am eagerly waiting for this one in 48th!

Excellent work on the camouflage!  Perhaps the reason why the Lince didn't work was because it just doesn't look right -  the proportions all seem to be wrong.  Certainly not up to the normal standard of Italian style.

What an amazing paint job!  Did you do this freehand or did you use a template of some kind?

Thanks :) ; the paintjob is entirely free hand airbrushing .  A trick I used is after laying down the base (Sand yellow ) paint , I matte coated it before doing the mottles - this helped prevent the thin paint from spidering on the surface .  Of course there is always some overspray and a round of tidying up is required .
