1/48 Fiat CR.42 (Luftwaffe)

Post by josepedro »

Hello!

Here are some photos of a model i finished some time ago.
It was not an easy kit, especially with the wing struts and upper wing alignment.

However it was very funny to paint.
This was painted with Vallejo Model Air acrylics and a lot of patience.

My best regards!

Thanks a lot!

Hello Willem, you`re right. It is the Italeri kit. it presented several challenges, but none of them too serious.

Hi Patrick!

The Swedish have really interesting camo schemes!
Four years ago i was in Linkoping, and visited the museum. Stunning schemes!

My best regards!

when I first saw the camo I thought wow, now having seen the engine and cockpit, wow's just not enough!

I also think the wheel detail is fist class, lovely build
