Savoia Marchetti SM.79, Italeri 1/72


Recommended Posts

Simply stunning :) I love the camo work and all the intricate detailing. Can't really say what is original with the model, what is aftermarket and what is scratchbuilt - really seamless work all around. Also, bonus points for the metallics, that torpedo is beautiful.

Very nice representation of a S79 Aerosilurante with Fiat 128 engines. I did exactly the same one in 48th years ago for Scale Model magazine. Normally the wooden tail of the Whitehead torpedo is white. Epharisto poli!

Thank you!
Oops! It seems that I've missed that one..!
Efxaristo!

Alan, I echo the comments of others here, and would only add that this is both a very sophisicated and elegant looking end result. 

 

'Il Gobbo' was always one of my favourite aircraft designs and you have captured it's beautiful lines expertly. 

 

It is a real pleasure to see such a high-class finish - you're modelling skills are evidently many and manifest... superb work, utterly superb.

 

Kindest regards,

 

Paul

If l was a judge, ( and l am not ) you would have got a diamond 💎 award for that superlative model, much better than a gold, fantastic

Just what I was thinking.
