IMAM (Romeo) Ro.37bis [1/48] Special Hobby

[RodolfoMas]

Hi Mates,
I started to assemble this IMAM Ro.37 bis Special Hobby kit:



The kit is composed by six sprues of grey styrene and one of clear canopy parts,
the styrene items are accompanied by resin and photo-etched details.
The decal sheet offers markings for four eye-catching schemes which portrays machines in service almost throughout the world.





The IMAM Ro.37 was a reconnaissance and observation biplanes and I'd like to do the airplane with the camouflage and markings of the Aviazione Cobelligerante Italiana (Italian Co-Belligerent Air Force), this being one of the last Ro.37s to see active duty.
(S/No.MM.10889, 'Cocco Bello', Aviazione Cobelligerante Italiana, October 1943)

Kit assembled ... waiting the first coat of primer

[RodolfoMas]

I had to remove the central upright because the upper wing was too low, and then I applied a coat of primer.

... and after a short break ... ... I restarted to build this airplane

Awesome work, she is coming together
I have a few builds on a "short break" too... in the corner until they learn to behave themselves

[RodolfoMas]

Any tips before the "rigging" ?

Congratulations! Well done! I found this such a difficult build. I have just completed this model with the same version. Parts that did not fit, missing holes, poor joints, problematic instructions, minute fiddly bits: I ended up with glue all over the place, twisted wires, shredded nerves and nearly a divorce. I really can't get over how good your result is - absolutely brilliant!!!
