Artoor_K Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Model under the motto "Bring my modelling mojo back". 1/48 Piaggio Pegna PC-7 from AMP - airplane which was build only once and for one thing only - to win Shneider Cup. Never flew. What I can say more - a real dog of a model. Every part had to be fitted, in addition scale on box was wrong - model is more 1:52 so chance to use any available figures is none. I've cut a wharf from styrofoam, add some water and put Piaggio on stands. Painting as usual: Mr Hobby and Tamiya. Stands are scratchbuild from icecream sticks, pavement and water for railway dioramas. 28 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjoo Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 You managed to produce a beautiful model despite the problems with the kit. Congrats! Like the base, too. The real plane is intriguing. A hydrofoil flying boat is about as bizarre as it gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MicTroy23 Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Congratulations, wonderful model! I also hope to put one on the shelf someday. But, I will build a homemade product at 1:72 ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geno Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 It's a plane... It's a boat... Holy surface radiator, it's the Batmobile! Erm, no, wrong colour... A very esoteric mojo restorer and a challenging one, too. I really like the result. It kind of reminds me of the planes from the anime Porco Rosso. The model looks prefect, smooth and shiny, and blends perfectly into the scene even without any figures. Kudos! Cheers, Geno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this will work. I have experience with homemade models: Bugatti 100P, two helicopters, ekranoplanes and a cruise missile. ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modelling Padre Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Now that is very different. Interesting to see and always better displayed in a diorama in my humble opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
