Fiat CR42 Italeri 1/48


Recommended Posts

Hello. This is my rendition of one of the CR 42 used by the Regia Aeronautica during the short lull on the channel during the Battle of Britain. I helped myself with pictures of the beautifully restored CR42 of Duxford to get the proper colors right (I hope). Following the serial number, the plane could have different colors. The one who used (for years, and I did) the yellow numbers now know they were blue, so I consider using the decals from Italeri as the Silhouette does not like the white or yellow or light blue when it comes to scan those! Plane is from the 85° Squadriglia 18)Gruppo, based at Ursel Belgium . Thanks for looking, cheers.

Very nice! Love your camouflage scheme.  Am I correct in assuming it was with an airbrush?  I would love to have more Italeri kits but I feel the distributor here in the U.S.

wants too much money for them which makes them too expensive in the hobby shops.  They used to be much more reasonably priced.

Amazing job on the camo. Looks fantastic. I have the flashback one in my stash, contemplating building it soon. 

The flashback is the old Classic Airframes, but even if older, is more precise than the Italeri. Have a great build.
