2996 Victor Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Adrian, Your G.55 looks even better in these photos - it's an absolutely stunning build and one that is bound to inspire as it's inspired me! I'm really looking forward to building one of these kits, maybe in the Southern Europe GB. All the best, Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliGauld Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 That didn't take you long. Beautiful result. I'm very tempted to pick the double boxing up now. Cheers, Alistair 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopesdaddy Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 What a good looking build, you can never have too many G.55s, I can't wait to see the second kit built. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanC Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Smashing model Adrian. Lovely camo scheme, and the spinner spiral is very nicely done. I'm not used to seeing one combined with yellow prop tips, though! 😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow prop tips were mandated for newly-manufactured aircraft in 1941 (Stormo magazine article) and contemporary photos show them, but not always.

RichieW Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Another cracker Adrian, bravo! It's a handsome little fighter, it looks lovely in the camo scheme. Richie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72modeler Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Adrian, Best build of the Sword or even the Supermodel kit I have seen so far! Outstanding workmanship! What scheme are you going to use on the other one that came in the box? Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So: - back convert to series 0, in the dark green with nocciola splodges scheme and round fasces insignia - one of the germanic grey splinter/mottle schemes with ANR markings - a different splinter option (there were several different variations, so I'll do the kit one which is different to my Supermodel build) Somewhere in the Italian and Southern Europe GBs.

georgeusa Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 You have taken one of the sexy Italian fighters and finished superbly. It looks great. Thanks for sharing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spadgent Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 I do love your finishes. I didn’t mention in the WIP but the spiral on the spinner is superb. Full marks all round. Johnny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
