Great work on those 2 O, really nicley finished.
Steve, i didn't realise CMK did Italian figures, good to see. I rather like their 72nd ones, so those should be nice.
I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so
On the bench: Airfix 1/72nd Harrier GR.3/Fujimi 1/72nd Ju 87D-3
Thanks Bish, it took a little while to find them. Not too many Italian pilot figures out there.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

No, especially for aircraft. There are quite a few 35th figures if you look in the right place
I opted for cataract surgery. Now I can see....time to get to work.

Here are my two builds. Hasegawa Razorbacks. Good bench time when the state gets shut down because of a major blizzard. Expecting up to 2 feet of snow.

Got your pics up on the main page O. Those are some beautiful builds you turned out! Thanks for joining the GB!
I was able to get some work done yesterday and painted the green base coat. I will apply dots of Silly Putty and go over this with the sand to get the effect I want.
I worked some on the guys and repainted the flight suit green. The vest and parachute will be tan. I'm having a hard time with the mechanics face. I can't seem to get it to look right. The pilot is looking good to me though...maybe a tad sunburnt but.....well they are in the desert after all.
The detail painting on those pilots is great Steve! As far as a suggestion I don't have anything...suprised Dull Cote would make it glossy like that.
I applied the Silly Putty to the 202 for the camo. It made it look like it had the measles. Next will be the underwing grey.
Very nice work on the Camo Steve!!
Like the look of that camo Steve, and those pilots are looking nice as well.
Thanks guys,
I went back and softened the camo a tad. The edges were just too shark for Italian camo. I'm also finished with the figures except for getting a dull coat and painting the pilots googles.
What would be suggested for the goggle lenses? Silver just does not look right.
For goggle lenses, I just put a drop of Future with a toothpick.
I build 1/48 scale WW2 fighters.
Have fun.
Steve,
Sorry to hear about your bother-in-law but good to hear he is doing better. Hope he has a speedy recovery.
I think the figures look pretty darn good!
Thank you Rooster, on both accounts.
I, too, wish your brother-in-law a speedy recovery.
Your figures are incredible! What is the pilot doing?
I thought maybe he'd caught something in his zipper. Or he was pulling the pin on a grenade. A good chuckle, anyway.
Good news about your brother in law. Glad to hear is doing better.
Nice work on the Italianos
Thank you. They moved from ICU today and he will likely be out in a few days. Now I hope he listens to his Dr. and starts taking better care of himself.
All I got to on Saturday was masking the fuselage stripe.
We received a call from the hospital Saturday morning around 10 AM. The nurse said my brother-in-law relapsed and was having another heart attack and they were moving him back to the ICU. When we arrived they were doing chest compressions and paddles. Once they got him stabilized they inserted a ventilator and he would stay that way for an hour or so and decline again. He would be harder and harder to stabilize and in the end the family said no more heroics. He passed away shortly after 5:30 in the afternoon.
He really didn't take care of himself health wise. He was overweight, smoked, didn't manage his diabetes and in the end the body had enough. Sad thing is he was looking great the night before and he was serious about getting straightened out because this had been a wake-up call. The sad thing is he was 6 months younger than I, he wanted to work out with me at the Cardio/Pulmonary Rehab center, stop smoking and start on his diabetes meds.
Yesterday was obviously hectic due to arriving family and arrangements.
Lesson learned. If I'm going to take that flight to heaven, it will be because God bought the ticket not me.
Thank you to everyone for your thoughts prayers. I will be back to the Macchi in a few days.
Thank you TJ! I'll also pass your thoughts onto his sister as well.
