Touvdal Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 I would like to enter this one. Cheers Jes 14
SoftScience Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 This is going to be awesome!!! Norwegian markings always look so great.
trickyrich Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 welcome along Jes with build #4!! I have a feeling this is a GB you were looking forward to! Another really interesting and unusual choice, which i had to read ap about as well. Not a very successful aircraft at all, but still a very interesting one for the GB. Well good luck with this one as well, I think by now you'll have a loyal set of follows for your amazing set of aircraft/builds, I look forward to seeing them all in the gallery. 1
Christer A Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 A Caproni! I wonder if the 310 was as rubbish as the 313 that Swedish Air Force used... Good luck with the kit in any way! 1
Col. Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 An unusual subject choice Jens and all the more worthy for it
trickyrich Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 a nice looking model, what is in those bags? Skis? She lacked performance as it was, to have skis fitted....it's a wonder she even took off!

Col. Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 I'd forgot all about this one Jes but it will make for an interesting companion to your Oxford 1
trickyrich Posted March 25, 2020 Posted March 25, 2020 Arrrr an Enzo style update! Great to see this one is still underway, as she is quite an unusual aircraft for this GB. 1
Touvdal Posted March 27, 2020 Author Posted March 27, 2020 Making the final toutches before starting the paint job. Cheers Jes 7
trickyrich Posted March 29, 2020 Posted March 29, 2020 wow you have made some progress, she's going to be a nice looking aircraft when completed. 1

Anybody trying to use Ca.310 series as a real bomber was sadly dissapointed. Planes were good as scouts, light bombers, COIN, trainers and communication planes anything above that was too much for such small plane Hungarians were so dissapointed with them that they returned their entire order of Ca-310s and Caproni instead delivered Ca.135 bombers. Yugoslavia bought them and used them as 2 engined trainers for Do-17, Blenheim and SM-79 crews and light bomb trainers and were quite happy with them. They even bought few Ca-310bis (looked like Ca-311 with few windows closed down) and few Ca-311 (5 delivered of 15 ordered few days before attack on YU) 1
Torbjorn Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 (edited) The biggest issue was that they tended to fall from the sky if someone in the crew as much as coughed too loud, no matter what task they were performing. edit: though they were also misused for a while, including as dive bomber (which was very trendy in Sweden too) and the Germans shot down a few as well.

BTW COIN was at the time more honestly marked "for colonial duties" so hardly any FLAK, fighters and such pesky and unpleasent things. A peashooter at most but that was honestly dangerous enough for Ca.310 series Edited April 21, 2020 by TISO
CliffB Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 Whatever it's shortcomings in reality, the plane makes a lovely subject for a model. I love the artistic curves of the canopy glazing . Cheers
JOCKNEY Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 I really like this aircraft, it's an "Anson in an Armani suit" ! Keep up the good work. Cheers Pat 1
trickyrich Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 OMG.....you've do an Enzo!!!! Last update she was barely together and now she's done!! WOW!!! That scheme and paint job is awesome!!! How did you do the camp??? It almost looks like those metal masks from Eduard? However you did it that paint job is awesome!!! Well done on another one completed. I really do hope you enjoyed this GB and will join us on part 2 of this GB! 1 1
Col. Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 Impressive result Jes No idea how you created that scheme but it looks great. 1

Model is brush painted with Humbrol paints, all the small dots took alot of time. 🤩 Canopy frames are also painted with brush free hand. Cheers Jes 1 1
trickyrich Posted May 11, 2020 Posted May 11, 2020 Hand painted!!!! They look amazing, well done on that scheme and the patiences to do it! 1
