FIAT G-91 and Bulldog 1/72nd

[Paul J]

Two more of my builds I am parting with. Airfix FIAT G-91 with improvements using Aerocub set, u/cart, canopy Modeldecal decals.

And Airfix SA Bulldog in splinter camo ( as opposed to the camo colours suggested in kit)using kit decals

And a few more:

REVELL 1/72nd Lancaster with Techmod decals.

 

Below: MPM/Italeri boxing Hudson and kit decals.

 

Below: Hasegawa beaufighter with kit national insignia and generic codes modified to make P6-F of RNZAF saudron machine

All the above were made more than 10 years ago or thereabouts

So you're the man who finished an Italeri/MPM Hudson!  I'd heard rumours there was somebody out there who had.

That does not bode well for mine

Sometime this year, I'll start mine. Maybe.

So what's wrong with the Hudson kit? It looks rather nice built up (as do all your other models, Paul!).

Thanks all. I have got another in the MPM boxing to do sometime with Aviaeology decals... to replace the one shown here.

It does look nice made up.  The main visual flaw for me is that the turret is depicted as symmetrical whereas the real thing is asymmetrical: easily corrected with an Aeroclub replacement or maybe one from the Revell  Halifax I/II.  But it is reputedly a swine to build fit-wise: others who have wrestled with it for longer are more qualified to comment on that.

I don't recall much about  my entanglement with the build; but yes there were moments with the build but perseverance won out.  Maybe when and if I ever get on with the other kit I will find the issues.
