Lex77 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Hi All, My (first?) build for this GB will be the 1/144 ATR-42-500MP from Italeri in the markings of the Italian Guardia di Finanza.

Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Nice to see this one included. There is one of these kits on the shelf of the LHS that keeps calling to me to buy it. I might just buckle eventually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Well, I buckle and got it today, though I am tending to the Guardia Costiera scheme for mine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex77 Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share Posted December 4, 2018 That would be a nice addition to this GB aswell. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex77 Posted December 8, 2018 Author Share Posted December 8, 2018 Lesson 1 of building models, read the manual! I forgot to do that and so I had to cut te fuselage to get the cockpit glazing in, 20181207_201601 by Lex de Kort, on Flickr 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Oops! I will have to check instructions on mine, probably would have made the same mistake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex77 Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 Made some progress on this one, building almost complete and masks arrived today so they got placed aswell. 20181211_204551 by Lex de Kort, on Flickr 20181211_204611 by Lex de Kort, on Flickr Almost ready for some paint. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex77 Posted January 4, 2019 Author Share Posted January 4, 2019 Some more done on this one. Painted it and started detail painting. According to some sources the colour of this one is RAL9016 which is white, doesn't seem right to me so deceided to choose a light grey. 20190104_202819 by Lex de Kort, on Flickr 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex77 Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 With the C-27J build nearing the end I started working on this one again. Decals done on one side; 20190122_201721 by Lex de Kort, on Flickr And with the (much larger) C-27J; 20190122_203530 by Lex de Kort, on Flickr 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Stuart Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Looking good there Lex, I like the sense of perspective in the photo with your C47 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex77 Posted March 8, 2019 Author Share Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) And this one is done! Took quite some time for the last few things but I had some time to spare. For anyone building the Italeri ATR, I think it needs some weight in the nose to keer the nose gear on the ground if you don't use the stand. 20190307_201113 by Lex de Kort, on Flickr 20190307_201143 by Lex de Kort, on Flickr 20190307_201205 by Lex de Kort, on Flickr Some more pictures in the gallery. Thanks for organising this GB! Edited March 8, 2019 by Lex77 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
