The effect is called "focus bracketing" or "focus stacking". I had never heard of that before, but I sure like it.

 

Yes, my camera does that. I think it's incredible what modern cameras can do. Mine has GPS and a compass too, but as it never leaves my living room that's a bit of a waste. 😆

Lovely finish on that build.

 

My hat goes off to anyone who can get a good finish out of a Classic Airframes kit.

 

I've tried a few of their kits and was never really satisfied by the end results regarless of the tools, patience and skills I brought to bear on them, they just fight every step of the way in my experience.

Great work - really outstanding

Excellent paint job!

Just an observation about fascist flags on the wings: it looks like they are upside down, since the tip of the axe should point forward....

Other than that, a very nice model!

I think you are mistaken. The heads of the axes are at the front of the bundles of fasces as usual.

That's pretty true. More than that even if the Classic Airframe is a better horse than the crappy Trumpy, it asks for a lot of work to look like a decent Sparviero. Out of the box there are a lot of mistakes, and I mean a lot! Best regards.
