@jaaaagirr.bsky.socialAlcione Day6: Landing gears and two more nacelles in place, this wraps up the assembly for now.

@stefjn.bsky.socialNo dust, specks nor hair. And the right yellow. 😁👍

@firepuffer50.bsky.socialProgress on the Bugatti. Engine, rad and fuel tank all in situ. On the next page I see I have to wire in all the dashboard 🙃😳

@wodgerdodger.bsky.socialMaking the M13/40 dusty or at least trying to. Trying to get that caked on North Africa dust/grit look. Think I'll give some pigments and oils a crack and see if that will help out with the texture.

@jaaaagirr.bsky.socialAlcione Day5: We have wings and the tail, went for the Bideriva (twin finn) version.

I've been moving along on my Macchi 202 but needed more images of the engine arrangement.
The kit has a very nice DB601 provided.
Then I saw a post here by KLP & boom! A 202 guide!
Very thorough 275 pg guide has EXCELLENT info on building this kit🙂
Here are some pics-
@janondroushek.bsky.socialGood news - the plane is not a tailsitter! Bad news - decals are crap and doomed the model for good. Notice how the print isn't even properly aligned 😬 #histscalemodels #ItaliaGB

@stefjn.bsky.socialIt's always on the last pass when the paint job gets hit by a fleck of dust. 🫣🙄

@justalpal.bsky.socialGot motivated last night, wait, where's that last strut.......🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ Mr Cant is currently in a holding pattern. 😵💫😵💫😂👍🍻 #italiagb #histscalemodels
@shadowcaster6656.bsky.socialFiat Abarth finished for #ItaliaGB. A nice little kit from Tamiya, I did it as a stablemate for the Castrol Mini. As usual there are some things I could have done better, anyway here she is.

@jaaaagirr.bsky.socialAlcione Day4: Hull is closed and canopy masked up. Found further #ItaliaGB qualifying proof in the tail section.

@adamwatkinson1.bsky.social@jaaaagirr.bsky.social do I need a ‘date stamp’ to prove this Italian light tank is as yet not started for the #italiagb ? It’s a new kit that just arrived today along with another new kit…I’ll start the build when I’ve finished my current one….
@mazedlx.bsky.socialDecals are done on the #italeri #fiat #131 #abarth #italiaGB #histscalemodels #scalemodel #scalemodels #scalemodelling #scale124
@sensiblearchie.eurosky.socialRight, after many disasters, all my own fault. Finemolds Porco Rosso Savoia and Curtiss for #ItaliaGB #HistScaleModels
@wodgerdodger.bsky.socialGetting there slowly, gloss coat is going on this afternoon. Hoping for tomorrow to add the chipping fluid and working on making it look dusty.

@grumpybadger62.bsky.socialI have no idea Adam. I am not a research type of modeller (MiG-15s aside). #ItaliaGB though was a rallying cry to get some difficult schemes across the line. Mind, I have never shied away in the past.
@stefjn.bsky.socialSlowly getting bits together. The Ducati engine is mostly done and now the wheels are in progress.
