Hi all. Have finally got a chance to get back to the work bench so i have decided on a little project to get back into it. This is Itelari's 1/72 scale MB 326. I will be doing it as an aircraft flying with the RAAF roulette's aerobatic team. Nice bright colour scheme. Well better get started.

Very nice, I have been looking at this kit myself, but the tiptanks are not correct for the SAAF planes. In the 1/48 kit they are the correct shape but the wrong size, in the 1/72 kit they represent the correct size but wrong shape! Just can't win LOL!

Will be wacthing your buils with interest.

That is true. Their is an aussie company that does the tiptanks in resin, pretty sure they are the correct ones.
 
Hi kresten, for 1/72 that cockpit looks mighty fine. Really looking forward to seeing this one come together, i love stuff thats just that little bit unusual/not that well known. Top choice of subject, cheers tony
 
Hi Kresten

Great build fantastic cockpit detail on such a small scale you must have good eyesight. Paint has gone on very well. What type of paints are using enamels or acrylics?

What an amazing little kit, your eyesight is certainly better than mine is. Great looking cockpit, especialy when you bear in mind the size.
 
Coming on beautifully kresten, cant wait to see the finished paint job, cheers tony
 
Hi Kresten

The colour scheme is looking great love the orange with very crisp masking you must be pleased with your build so far.
