#Revell #Ferrari 512TR #histscalemodels #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

I think I quite managed to repair all the mistakes I made during the last several sessions and also today. I will see if the top grey keeps the unified shade when dry. I am afraid to touch it again, but I have to yet add the anti-glare stripe in front of cockpit #ItaliaGB #histscalemodels

Well then, little Fiat is done!
Might still add something because I got a fun idea…
But for now it’s done 😁

Slow progress. Ended up to use some left overs of carbon fiber decal. Interesting that whatever that bottle is, in the real thing, is on the other side 🙂 #ItaliaGB #histscalemodels

Personal announcement for #ItaliaGB. The aim was to get 4 across the line. On close inspection of the Veltro, it will not be appearing. I really really should read reviews and a bit of design history before throwing cash at things.

I have changed my mind often about the approach to this tricky scheme. Even after applying the first coat, I am not entirely sure. Anyways.... #ItaliaGB #histscalemodels

On the third try, I got the paint somewhat airbrushable... at this point, everything everywhere was orange, so I had to sand back non orange parts and repaint them by hand... I have no idea what colours did I use few days ago, since all seems different shade now 🤯 #ItaliaGB #histscalemodels

I oficially suck in masking. This is quite problem if I don't remember how i mixed this particular shade of grey. I just mixed and mixed... Until now, it was quite good work, I think... Oh, well. #histscalemodels #ItaliaGB

Continuing with #ItaliaGB, there is an Alcione next.
What we got here however is a merge of two 1973 Supermodels (raised pannel lines crude moulds) with unnumbered parts. The shiny new box offers either the single and twin finns version and throws in some new cartograf decals.

Paint and decals are done. Got some more stowage to figure out and then I'll attach it all permanently.
Then it's onto the figures

Mr Cant moving along....quick mock up. Could be better, could've been worse. 🤷‍♂️😅👍🍻

I made a start with the 1/72 F-104S. Hasegawa has you sticking forward and rear subassemblies to each other, but I read about fit problems that way so I've gone about it differently as seen below. Also taxying 104s usually had flaps lowered so I've cut them out as well. #histscalemodels #italiagb

Not much to the Saetta cockpit but it has taken a while. The instrument panel had 11 steps. #ItaliaGB #histscalemodels

Today in #ItaliaGB - half-mummy plane. Can't paint immediately, hence i had to use the white tac instead of my Venom space goo.

Next on the bench this set of Italian infantry figures. #ItaliaGB

#ItaliaGB Progress update.
Engine is in, front and rear suspension on, and she's on her wheels.

Finished the interior for the #italiaGb Fiat 😁
It isn’t really the correct brown (I was guessing) but should do!
#histScaleModels

Fantastic scene Dave. Top quality work.👏👏👏
