djos Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) Hello Everyone This project took a little more time than i expected. A very known model from 70's, model I am extremely fond of, because it was the first model which my father made for me and introduced me to this hobby. I decided that I will do the same version, without any additional details in same colors and markings, just for him. I decided and ..... after almost 40 years I finished it...but in different way: Engraved, a complete cabin with instruments made (known only to me and impossible to see), completed made landing gear bay, replaced propeller with one from hobby boss, used Italery colors, for wash and shades used artistic oli paints, markings skymodel ... if I remember well ... and that's it, almost from the box Not to bother you more, another model old almost as me is done. I hope you like it Best regards and pictures at the end: Edited December 7, 2018 by djos 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72modeler Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Sure doesn't look like the old Revell kit- more like a Sword or Special Hobby! Lots of work there in the wheel bays, too Very nice! Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Hi Djos, outstanding model!!! A long way from what you found in the initial plastic bag! For different reasons, it is one of my favorite kits, warts and all! Congrats. JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Joyce Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Very nicely built and finished Macchi! When you say "engraved" do you mean you re-scribed the kit? If so, you did a fabulous job of it. Cheers, Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
