JOCKNEY Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 This is Smer 1/48 scale Macchi Castoldi MC72. This kit was completed as part of the recent Flying Boats and Floatplanes GB. The aircraft represented here is MM181, that went on to claim records for the fastest floatplane. Work in progress here I hope you like it cheers Pat 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bentwaters81tfw Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Nice job. Bit of a handful though, isn't it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted April 1, 2018 Author Share Posted April 1, 2018 2 hours ago, bentwaters81tfw said: Nice job. Bit of a handful though, isn't it? Its a really nice kit, apart from attaching the floats. The struts are not numbered or particularly obvious where the one you are holding should go. The attachment points on both the floats and underside of the aircraft are also very poorly marked if at all, so I resulted to going with what looked right in the end ! cheers Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
