Treehugger
Final model looks like it might perhaps be heavy, can the landing gear handle the weight?

jan zumack
He treehugger, i tested the legs with 2kg per leg, i hope it is enough. If its not i drill in a seperat roundsteel to Catch the weight.

Dash Rendar
Damn, those tiny pipes around the jet exhausts. Very cool.

Skyhiker
Picture 210 looks like a boom box. I wonder what kind of funky music would come out of that?

Vincent
This build is looking great. Im looking forward to the painting phase!

Alberto
Me too 👀

Chris
This is my absolute first attempt with airbrushing a mottled camouflage. So please be patient and I would appreciate helpful comments.

Alberto
I think it's not bad at all Chris, looking good!

Joseph Russo
I agree with Alberto nice job

Chris
Thank you Alberto and Joseph Russo! That motivates me to continue on the path. You will see the progress at the Caproni-project 😉

Skyhiker
That's coming together well. It's kinda cool to see this done pretty much straight out of the box. I'm working on the same kit right now but I'm over thinking it. Be careful with the propeller. They made it backwards.

Chris
The only reason for me to build this plane was to rehearse airbrushing the mottled camouflage. But while building I began to like this little gem. Of course I did my best to make it look good. Hope you like it?
It was the first time for me to use those thousands tiny little Decals, that was the true horror for me. But the result payed it off!
And finally: No one will ever notice that there are no PE-parts in the cockpit or Resin parts with the undercarriage or engine 😉

Skyhiker
I think it's super.

Chris
Thank you. I am watching your progress and am happily awaiting the result.

William Joel
Great paint job, I like the effect.

Skyhiker
I too fell in love with this plane while making this kit. It a great subject. A lot of people say this is a horrible kit, but I don't think it's that bad. Yes, it has issues but I've had worse. And as you have proven you can make it straight out of the box and looks good. I like the colors you chose. Are they the recommended colors from the box or did you switch it up a bit?

Chris
I took a look at the recommendations and took them as they were: RLM81, RLM82, RLM83 and RLM76 for the underside. I used Vallejo Air straight out of the bottles. The lines of the cooling-flaps are done with a pencil. After all was finished the plane got a wash of very, very thinned black. The exhaust stains are from an 8B-Pencil. The mood of the pictures is from the app snapseed.

Guy Rump
Great job! 👍
