oldcrow Posted November 4, 2024 Posted November 4, 2024 Hello everybody, These are some shots of my ITALERI AMX “Ghibli” in the 72 scale. They represent the 4 special color aircrafts painted in 2019 to celebrate 30 years of duty with Italian Air Force. Maiden Roll Out on September,13rd 2019 at Istrana AB. AMX-T Special Tail 132°Gruppo/101°Gruppo, 51-82 MM55044; AMX Special Tail 28°Gruppo/13°Gruppo, 51-27 MM7114; AMX Special Tail 103°Gruppo/14°Gruppo, 51-53 MM7180; AMX BLACK MM7194 30 anni di servizio operativo; They were all part of 132°Squadron, 51°Stormo, the very last operative squadron to fly AMXs I used some 3d printed parts (Ejection seats, flaps and slats, wingtip missiles rails, canopy internal structure). Decals are a mix from out of the box offering, AIR-GRAPHICS 72-025 decals sheet and homemade decals from my original artwork. Red, white and green stripes on the blackie are airbrushed.

Vultures1 Posted November 4, 2024 Posted November 4, 2024 Great collection of AMXs there @oldcrow, and some really attractive special schemes. The 3d printed parts are a nice addition too, especially the deployed flaps. Well done all round! 1
Linus Posted November 4, 2024 Posted November 4, 2024 Complimenti Andrea, veramente una bella collezione tematica! 1
Airbusboy Posted November 4, 2024 Posted November 4, 2024 Wow, what a stunning collection. Fabulous finishes on all of them 👍 1
drake122 Posted November 4, 2024 Posted November 4, 2024 Great collection, these are very 'al dente'. 🤌 1
David Koktavý Posted November 5, 2024 Posted November 5, 2024 It is really splendid collection. One AMX is nicer than the other 👌 I also have Air Graphic and it will be very difficult to keep some accetable number of builds, even as I see the build itself seems to be straightforward. 1

Hello David, I can confirm that they are easy build. If you don't mind with flaps and slats modification (yes, AMX can be parked with flaps and slats retracted for maintenance!) and choose an overall grey aircraft you can complete it in a week or two. Many thanks to everyone for your kind comments and like!! Andrea 1
Pete in a shed Posted November 5, 2024 Posted November 5, 2024 Superb. Ive always loved this aircraft and it is a treat to see such a collection, built and finished to such a high standard. 1
