GREG DESTEC Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 So it seems resistance is useless or is it more a case of i have no will power? Either way i'm in. Here are my entries to the GB Macci's 202 & 205 all in one box with 3 examples of Ace pilots for each type. I will be doing one with smoke rings - gulp! - and one with blotches. I have had this kit in the stash for some time now, and this GB seems the perfect opportunity to build it/them. TFL, Cheers Greg 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Oz 🍺 I don't have any Italian subjects on the display shelves so these should address that problem nicely. As regards the smoke rings I could "cheat" and use decals but we shall see what happens when it comes to the crunch 😬 Looking forward to getting started 😛 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 I painted the smoke rings freehand with a brush on my Frog Folgore half a decade ago and that plane still looks good in my eyes. Just go on and try it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Hi Greg, these GBs are evil! Some people will make you believe that you have no will power, and that you are the only one to blame for joining in. In reality, their insidiousness is pervasive, and you just don't have the choice! Did I mention the word evil? So you might as well have fun... JR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREG DESTEC Posted September 17, 2020 Author Share Posted September 17, 2020 Update 1... I got stuck in to the Veltro first. A very straightforward kit, albeit the fit was a wee bit off in places. Nice detail internally and externally, not that you can see much of the insides with the fuse buttoned up. I should be laying down some paint shortly. TFL Cheers Greg 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the need for filler will be down to me 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREG DESTEC Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 Ok, here is another update, sorry they are few and far between! The Veltro is finished and i am now on to the Folgore. The builds have both been very enjoyable and easy. The Italieri 1/72 kits are quite nice if you can get them these days. Pictures...
