Paint on. #ItaliaGB #histscalemodels
I ordered something online because I couldn't progress, with my Ducati, if I had to wait to get to a physical shop this weekend. It hasn't turned up so I will have to visit said shop anyway.🤨

Well, work (+other things) delayed my entry to #histscalemodels #ItaliaGB, but I couldn't miss it!
My first idea wasn't quite 'right', but I think it's resolved now. So. I'm trying (will I get there?) is 2 displays of 2 aircraft each. Thankfully simple (ha) single seat fighters. V Italian so far!

Interior (Ammo Atom Blood Red) and wheels coming along.
Decals are poor, previous owner let them get damp I think. 10 mins in warm water and they were freed from backing paper
#ItaliaGB Progress update on the Abarth 695.
Interior done, and wheels on. Next up painting and body stuff.
And the liquid metal for the copper pipes was a new one for me. More chassis work next.
This post has been re-sent as I’ve now updated my Bluesky.

It seems I can only post one picture at a time; anyone else have this problem? #histscalemodels #italiaGB
Got some black on, promptly dropped on the cat hair covered lounge floor. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ After some clean up....we shall see 😬😅👍🍻 #italiagb #histscalemodels
Alcione Day2: Flat medium green spray for the sparse seventies interior.

@jaaaagirr.bsky.social a happy coincidence if so but does this qualify for inclusion in the #italiagb? It‘s a new kit release and is on its way to me now…
I took pointers from @twai.bsky.social and @stefjn.bsky.social and laid multiple soft layers and lastly a wet one. Thank you! The edge betweent successful wet coat and pooling is like catching the optimal time to eat an avocado. I think I managed in the end though. #histscalemodels #ItaliaGB
Update on the ICM 1,35 Italian infantry figures, not much to see, built and a coat of primer next the base coat. #ItaliaGB
Some progress on the #italeri #fiat #131 #abarth #histscalemodels #italiaGB #scaleomodel #scalemodels #scalemodelling #scale124
Mostly just parts clean up for now, but also tiny distributor scratchbuilt. Still need to make a fuel pump, coil and steering box. Testing the limits of my eyesight and big fingers, that is for sure!

Some progress on the #italeri #fiat #131 #abarth for the #histscalemodels #italiaGB #scalemodel #scalemodels #scalemodelling #scale124 since I’ve used up all my Tamiya X-18 I went with Tamiya LP-5 for the semi gloss black parts. The finish is just *chef’s kiss*
Alcione Day1: Starting off with the engines. Three of course, as it's #ItaliaGB

Marker lights refilled with Mr Surfacer - wet sanded after drying overnight. Looks better, need dry weather to re-prime.
Going for blue + red interior like this picture of real one recently up for sale.
Did get wheels painted this week too
