Used the good weather yesterday (why not on Saturday?!) to paint the car body.
It’s nasty thick as expected and I got a paint run on the back behind the wheel… I will just ignore!

Saharina Day1: A start has been made.

I hate phantom seams... #ItaliaGB #HistScaleModels

I don't have much experience with short runs, but I expected worse. Lot of sanding and cutting, but it is not as bad as old kopro. So far I am dry fitting and sorting out confused part numbers in the guide. T'was making me to use part of landing gear as control column 😀 #histscalemodels #ItaliaGB

I told you it wouldn't take long to get back in a state. 😁

#Miniwing F-86K Sabre Dog got inside paint so it is not seethrough. 🙈 also I will have to apply a lot of primer paint to hide the poor material quality and marks of injection. Pitot tube got killed in the process of cutting wings out of the tree. Putty is on standby. #histscalemodel #ItaliaGB

Dry fit of major components. Looks like a pretty good fit. Some minor rescribing required, then I'll think about painting, probably in two sections, hull and wing. #ItaliaGB #HistScaleModels

Day 2 of #ItaliaGB #HistScaleModels and bloody hell, these things are tiny. Less of the eye-bleaching shiny red plastic.

Starting #ItaliaGB the easy way. I did the predecessor AS37 before, so this should be a low hanging fruit.

Calling #ItaliaGB -- I'd like to double check. Is the F-104S Spillone (Starfighter) considered 'Made in Italy'? It was a Lockheed design, but license-built at Cameri near Turin, and tweaked with Italian systems and weapons. If so I just miiight be able to participate maybe hopefully.

Been a busy couple of days finishing off the M13/40 build.
Scratch building some jerry can storage for the right side then it'll be onto the painting.

Prepared the parts w/ a bath.
This time I thought I'd try painting the base internal colors first.
Then it's assembly of the DB 601!

I unboxed Miniwing Fiat F-86K Saber Dog and well… I should apologize to SDV Model and Mark I Models for swearing how much cleaning and putty I need to assemble their kits. #ItaliaGB #histscalemodels

#ItaliaGB

parts washed and some glue applied. #ItaliaGB

Cockpit done....chances of seeing anything....minimal. #ItaliaGB #histscalemodels

I’ll be doing a space age Lambo for #italiagb although the kit is a bit more complex than expected!

You might be wondering as to why I haven't started our #ItaliaGB yet.
Well, I was busy with a very late straggler of #HeaviesGB, the 1/72 Blohm&Voss BV 222 Wiking, version is Lufttransportstaffel z.b.V., Mediterranean Sea, '42.
That was a long bench blocker and then some.
