discussion Colin M's Battle of Britain GB, Fiat CR 42

[colin m]

I did actually finish this a couple of weeks go, but you know how life is !
Pictures,
Finished using MRP and a bit of pastel shading.
The struts look a bit over sized, but when you think there is practically no rigging, it sort of makes sense. However, the struts on the model were to long, and had to be filed down.
As a kit, it looks good in the box, but needs just a bit of extra work. Fitting the top wing, when the struts are all angled, thanks Fiat, that presented a bit of a challenge.




Any questions, please fire away.

I normally take pictures inside, these days. I have done some outdoors pics but not for years. The low morning sun, just looked 'right'.
