So, I've just noticed on the tail close-up, one of the rudder control rods has gone astray, so... NOW I'm done! And thanks to everyone for their kind comments and appreciation. I feel validated!- Steve-the-Duck

Chris's 1/72 Planet Models Breda Ba.44
Just as an asde, I've scanned my Puttnams DeHavilland for these This gives you some idea of the differences between all three. I'll have to see if there's a kit of the Dragon itself some time- Steve-the-Duck

Chris's 1/72 Planet Models Breda Ba.44
The kit markings are for I-AURRA, but I've decided on I-ORIO because of the yellow engine nacelles, which will be a contrast to the camo This is mainly because on of the few service photos I can find, other than in the monograph, is this one Which also shows the shape of the larger lower...- Steve-the-Duck

Chris's 1/72 Planet Models Breda Ba.44
Well, I found a build of this online by an Italian modeller. Just a set of pics, and somewhere he got a set of 1/72 plans. He had a very nice interior which has more details than the two photos I've got, plus he pointed out some inaccuracies in the kit, so here we go The tail is a different...- Steve-the-Duck

Chris's Revell 1/72 SE.5A (Pap695's Biplane GB)
Gents, you are all too kind And just this morning I realised I left off the 'Lift Here' and arrow markings off the side of the fuselage... So I've drawn them in, with a 0.1mm fineliner because why not might redo them a bit straighter...- Steve-the-Duck

Chris's 1/72 Planet Models Breda Ba.44
Now, wings and fuselage drilled for support rods of 1mm brass Otherwise, they're just butt joints Looks like things will line up nicely, at least on the lower wing. I think the holes are a little off set on the top. Still, so long as they hold, no probs Next, that interior- Steve-the-Duck

Chris's 1/72 Planet Models Breda Ba.44
Well, I can hope this is the only thing that will go wrong in this build While cutting out the side windows, one piece broke off, though easily repaired This sort of resin does take cyano well. Going to need a bit more sanding once the primer is on and I can see how much it shows- Steve-the-Duck

And I've already made a start. There are some errors in the kit instructions, at least going by the monograph The military scheme is described as brown (bruno mimetico) mottles on a green (verde mimetico) base. Not an unlikely scheme, but... ... we have the exact opposite colours Also, the...- Steve-the-Duck

So, this was the 'plane I actually wanted to build in the first place! The Ba.44 is a mid-thirties design. According to my sources, including an Italian language monograph, Breda had a licence to produce the DH.84 Dragon, but decided to produce a much modified version, similar to how the...- Steve-the-Duck
