Thank you for your support. The painting was actually the fun part of this build

Really nice build, i think you nailed that scheme pretty good.

Thanks Bish...although I forgot a white stripe on the front edge of the engine cowling.....oops. By the time I figured that out I had everything already masked again oh well

Excellent finish!  The camo Looks tricky but you’ve pulled it off.  I like those torpedos too.

Nice build the Italians had some really cool camo schemes

 

Thank you.  Yep they definitely were interesting.  I've seen that many people hand paint this one, but I decided to airbrush it.

You had the choice between the steak or the fish...Oh that's right I had the lasagna.......Nice piece of Italian machinery. Thanks for sharing.

 

Shirley you can't be serious.  I definitely had fish on this one.  Thanks Lawdog.  I'm working on the Tamiya Uhu right know.  What a great kit...except for all the breakables.  Any tips or tricks?  I'm thinking I might try the dot method of camo on this one.  Good thing I have a lot of sticky tack

Hi Greatmaker, your camo job looks amazing, it really makes the build standout.  I like the loook of this plane and it's one of the few I don't have in my stash.  After seeing yours though, I'm gonna have to go looking for it.  Great job!! and thanks for posting.

Thank you Kielers,  It is and intestingly designed plane.  Mine needed a lot of putty and sanding but I think it's representative of an Italian bomber. At the time I bought this it was the only Italian bomber in a 1/48 scale

Good work  Only comment I've got is operational S.79 Aerosilurante carried just one torpedo portside, aircraft performance suffered with two, this from flight trials. 

 

Did not know that thank you! I see on yours you managed to get rid if the seam in the fuselage just in front of the tail wheel.  I worked on that area repeatedly and just couldn't get rid of that seam.  I think I used a quarter tube of putty to no avail

Great job, love the camo! I've got to work up the guts to build an Italian bird one of these days...

Oh thanks RiK! I'm going to have to print that out so I can keep the colours straight.

I have a good quality airbrush but I'm just not sure my hands are steady enough to get the camo right.

I've have a 1/48th Fiat G. 55 Centauro in my stash somewhere. I drag her out every now and again, stare at her and then put her away and build something simpler...

Thanks! Lots of ideas there and beautiful work. I really like the polygonal scheme and it's on the instruction sheet. Shouldn't be too hard, I'm just too lazy to do all the masking. 

I have a benchful of stuff I need to finish and I'm thinking of doing a P-51D and something Japanese next. Maybe I'll get to the Centauro after that. 

Again, big thanks for your help and motivation!!!

Those are some stunning Italian builds could be grounds for an Italian GB

Thanks Gamera!  This one certainly sticks out in my display case.

For a build you have reservations with, it looks pretty good to me! Love the camo job. I wouldn't know where to start with that!

Thanks Chris Most of my issues were with the fit of the kit.  Compared to Tamiya, IMO a poorly designed model, but one of the few representatives of an Italian bomber in 1:48. Difinately many variations of that paint job. Now there is one more
