Roman Schilhart Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Dear fellow Britmodellers, this is my 1/72 Sword Fiat G.55 of 2. Gruppo, 1. Squadriglia, flown by Ten. Drago at Cascina Vaga airfield, in May 1944. Built for the "Italian design special display" at the upcoming IPMS GoModelling show (March 9-10, 2019). I added photo-etch seatbelts from MPM and resin upgrades from AP Modely. Painted with Gunze/Mr.Hobby acrylics, representing the so-called "experimental splinter scheme". All photographs by Wolfgang Rabel. The round squadron batch on the nose has wrong color, it is too light. It should actually be dark green. Thank you very much for your interest in this topic. Best greetings from Vienna! 44 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VG 33 Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Very nice Roman. This one is also on my to do list. Last year at ModelBrno there were double kit Sword boxes.😉 Patrick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mig88 Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Wonderful duo! Very nicely finished both of them. I have this boxing in my stash. I hope they come out as well as yours when I get round to building them. Best regards Miguel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Very competent models, both of them! My favourite is the green/brown/tan No 7 with its realistic and plausible finish – and absence of spurious silver paint prop blade "weathering". 😉 Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luis Alfonso Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Hi My Friend Roman!!! Finally after sorting a lot of trouble can reach the place to watch this last gem you have created... Congratulations for this last masterpiece you have done!!! I was watching Black 6 with its nice grey camouflage, this one is a great build, but think that even though you said the Gigi tre Osei badge is lighter than would be, really the very best of both and for me, the better of the two is Black 7!!! I like the aircraft a huge lot and think that building this one for sure would choose the very attractive and wonderful cammo you chose!!! Also, liked a huge lot the soft weathering you have used in this build, specially the way this effect looks in the very clear colors, without a doubt when have the pleasure to try my hand in a build of this aircraft yours will be the mandatory reference to try to get a nice model. Thank you very much for sharing!!! Cheers, Luis Alfonso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Superb Roman, your first scheme definitely my choice in the Sword boxing, even more so now after seeing your fantastic build. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzby061 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Lovely work on both. It certainly is a very good looking aeroplane. Must get a 1/48 version for my collection, one that doesn't have all squiggly camouflage schemes! Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyot Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 What a beautiful model Roman,...... and I do like this scheme,.... which you have done very well indeed, Cheers Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmouredSprue Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Exceptional models but I loved the Black 7, that splinter camouflage is just outstanding. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
