A stressful afternoon placing copper wires on the engine, experimenting with the airbrush to achieve a weathered look in the bodywork an then (sigh of relief) mating the floor pan to the chassis. #histscalemodels #italiaGB

@sensiblearchie.eurosky.socialTonight, I am going to drink whisky and start assembling a really elderly 1/72 Supermodel for the #ItaliaGB
You can tell it qualifies, as it even says 'made in Italy' in it...
@grumpybadger62.bsky.socialLooking Stuka like #ItaliaGB #histscalemodels
@slowmademodels.bsky.socialHi Bluesky folks. Been away lately, although I see an #ItaliaGB underway? I've got the same one running with my local model club, can anyone point me to the entry criteria? Thanks.

@adamwatkinson1.bsky.socialThe quality and detail on these 3D printed parts is about as good as I have ever seen. Getting them off the scaffold is tricky though…because of the forest of supports it’s sometimes hard to see what/where you are cutting. I think very slowly does it is the answer…🤷♂️👍 #italiagb.

#histscalemodels
@shanepowell.bsky.socialMade some good progress on my #ItaliaGB build.
Now the main structure is together there's a bit of work to do before it's painted properly with its camo scheme. Had to give up on the link and length tracks as they were just not working for me.
@adamwatkinson1.bsky.socialThese tracks are pretty impressive and the engineering is so precise they don’t need gluing as the rods fit so snugly they just stay put… #italiagb
@jaaaagirr.bsky.socialCarro Commando Day2: Pink primer, just like with the Saharina. #ItaliaGB #histscalemodels
@justalpal.bsky.socialOh, an extra for those who are aware of my maptap skills....🤔😂👍🍻 #italiagb #histscalemodels
@justalpal.bsky.socialA few more...🤦♂️😅👍🍻 #italiagb #histscalemodels
@justalpal.bsky.socialMr Cant is ready for take off! 🤔😅 Italeri CANT Z.501 Gabbiano, 1:72. Nice little kit, very testing. 😅 A few liberties taken and saved several times. 😁👍🍻 #italiagb #histscalemodels
@cesairebdc.bsky.socialA good day of paint! Painted the brown under the fuselage and the markings prior painting other areas red on the #savoiaS21 for #italiaGB and added some paint on details for the #Rqzorback and #Mustang
@adamwatkinson1.bsky.socialOK…the link and length tracks (hate them) in the Lanmo kit has made me think again about the ET Model kit for #Italiagb …will have a look tomorrow but at least it has nice looking single link tracks in it as far as I recall…🙄
@jaaaagirr.bsky.socialCarro Commando Day1: Assembly was, like all IGB tank kits, rather easy. Just the usual 1-2 errors in the instructions.

@stefjn.bsky.socialGood evening all. My Ducati is fast approaching the finish line, just the fairings to decal and gloss. Very happy with how it has gone and I'm loving the colour.
I should have enough time to get the Ferrari done for #ItaliaGB too.

@adamwatkinson1.bsky.socialSometimes starting a new build reminds me of those parties back in the day when you’d push all the tables and chairs back to the walls…except with pots of paint… #ItaliaGB
@cjhm-models.bsky.social
@grumpybadger62.bsky.socialWhat progress on #ItaliaGB ?
A week on the cockpit, that's what. 3D decals cost more than the kit, money well spent. #histscalemodels
@adamwatkinson1.bsky.socialOne of these will be next for the #ItaliaGB …I am mildly terrified by the ET Model kit so may well go with the Lanmo kit as I know what to expect with it…
