and some more progress with the cockpit

used the kit´s decal seatbelts and painted them partially because they were white

Niiiiiice! Your dad does a very clean and neat work building this model.

It's a nice kit, I've also built it, before I decided to stop building machines with "controversial" symbols on them, to say the least. Italeri doesn't include any of those, by the way, which means that you need to buy a set, if you want to be accurate, but it can of course be a very pretty model without them as well. :)

I'll be following this one, if I may. :)

finally decided to do the scheme with the fake French markings.

this aircraft was used on board of the auxilery cruiser "Widder", a former civil ship that was militarized

 

 

first camo paint with AK Real Color RLM72 applied

I find that between foreign sales and captured machines you can usually find an interesting scheme without said symbols. For example:-

@Reini78 I love you and yourDads work, but I must apologise for almost never commenting or liking it.

started with the decals, usually the best part of Italeri kits 😄 but this time they are not so good, resist a bit the MicroSol and are slightly brittle
