SPA Modeler

Absolutely excellent. Black as it should be done. Great weathering and a great subject.

30 minutes to spare. Looks great. Black is a tough color but you pulled it off. Great weathering.

Thanks all. The paints are MRP. They make the specific Italian colors - Nocciola on top and Grigio Azzurro on bottom. The interior and wheel wells are a duck egg green as I couldn't find exactly what Italian interior colors were. Now for the confession.... the smoke rings are no less than 100+ decal...

My first Italian bird. They are really beautiful airplanes - like everything Italian (including my wife :giggles: ) Looking at scalemates this was originally a Hasegawa kit. Fantastic model that went together really well. I botched a bit at the end but overall super fun kit https://i.imgur.com/vhXmE...

Looks great Lyle!

Literally a 8 hour build. Nice fitting kit - fun, and outside of my norm.

Trying to find a bigger picture for clarity

Thanks. Mr Color 58 looks line the right one.

Finish line in sight! BTW what color do you use for the ID markings? After my last decal failure I think I'll paint them.

Another beauty John. I really like that version of the tempest - I suppose it became the sea fury as they could be twins. Indian air force markings are a great choice. The father of a guy that worked for me was an officer and pilot in the Indian air force. I'll have to ask what he few - timing would...
