Zigomar Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 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.

Gary Brantley Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Another very nice CR42 Jean! Man, that camo paint work is exquisite; so well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todders Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 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. Todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exhausted Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 the contrast of the dark green and light sand really makes this model convincing. Everything stands out where it needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a great build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
