ICM 1/32 Fiat CR-42 with German figures


Recommended Posts

Good evening.  Please find my christmas build below.  Lovely kit to build.  If you are put off biplanes due to the problems of fixing the top wing and struts on, this is a good one to start with as the struts fitted with no problems and were engineered to be at the right angles.

 

I was a bit disapointed with my final paint finish as I wasnt sure about the green (seemed a bit too dark).  I drilled out the gun barrels (situated above the nose) which I think made a big difference to their appearance.

 

The figures were fun to paint.  and all finished off on one of my homemade bases.

Looks superb,..... I`m tempted to build this myself,..... you`ve done an excellent job and the camo looks great to me.

 

I`m no figure painter, but I`d add a watercolour wash to them, then rub it away,.... to bring out more of the detail,.... if you don`t like it,.... just wash it off. You`ve done a good job on them, be a shame not to go a step further. 

 

Cheers

Hi. It is a great kit to build. The only trouble I recall the only issue I met was fitting the 4 panels on the engine. I ended leaving one off due to the gap (which was probably my fault). The model goes together a dream. Even adding the struts was no problem
