discussion Trumpeter 1/48 Savoia-Marchetti SM.79-II Sparviero (Hawk)

[Guest]

Hi people, so an out the box build, with just a little mod to open up the hump, otherwize a stright foreward job......but then came the camo....the model is all brush painted so took a few days to paint needless to say. Hope you like.
ohhh and the decals were a nightmare as they would not peel from the backing, theres only 10 of them and 6 gave me trouble but all was fine in the end, I elected to have the codes on the white panel because TBH you could not see them on the camo otherwise. So not bothered that it's wrong like that.
Found me a hot sunny airstrip














and a little dio as to how she will be on display






Box art that I followed(ish)

One of the best models I have ever seen Peter, and Dave has described the detail and finish in one word-beautiful.

Lovely camouflage work Peter. Love the display and photographs, very well done indeed.

Excellent paint work, I love the scheme.  Trumpeter decals are the worse and I would always get aftermarket decals with their kits.

Excellent build and great camouflage.

Really a great build with an excellent work on the camouflage-pattern......

So on display up in the spare room








Love me truck, It's die cast and I think it looks the part





No 1/48 Italian ground crew out there so volunteered a few Germans  





To make my display a little more interesting, found myself a cart that was ideal for the torpedo

I'm sure I've seen/commented on this on another forum, but it's so nice it warrants another post. Fantastic work, that paintwork is superb.

Hi people so I was still working on the model, and it's been given it's matt coat also given a used look with oil leaks, exhaust stains and general dirtiness..  So that should be it

Great work mate. That camo is awesome and the little dio looks the part. Top stuff.
