Coming along nicely. I like the camouflage pattern.

Nice work on this rare and tiny subject 👍

Good job on this kit. Keep it up!

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.

Great job! 👍

Very nice work.

What an assembly line!
These Caproni kits from Italeri and even before Italaeri fascinated me a lot when, as a young man, a few centuries ago😅, i admired them behind the window of my favorite modeling shop, thanks so much for sharing.
Good work!

Many thanks to you, serial builder !
This kind of work is the only way to have a good comparison between kits.

Nice work.

Finished in a very short time. It is a simple kit with almost no issues:

- the tank tracks and the wheels are one piece. In this scale it is ok. Noone wants to see rotating wheels in 1:76 😉 But in the instruction sheet (I think) it is wrong: The single wheel is in the front, but on the painting instructions and the picture of the real carrier it is on the rear side. So I did it this way.

- the driver figure is a man without legs. And I can find no place where legs could have been. 😉

- The carriage of the gun lets you make rotating wheels. I managed it to make them work, but it is unnessesary.

- the decals have wide transparent overlaps. But with gloss - decal - matt varnish that is almost invisible.

- For the first time I tried an airbrush for felt-pens to apply little stains of mudd and dust. It worked. Now it doesn't look fresh from production but a little bit used. In this scale models quick become "overweathered" - my opinion. In a diorama it would be ok.

I had fun building this tiny thing! 😄

Guy Rump
Nice build. 👍

Chris
In older days I would have done this painting in one day. But now: Day 1: Priming the plane. Day 2: airbrushing RLM76 (blue). Day 3: Masking. Day 4: Airbrushing RLM82 (Hellgrün). Day 5: Masking. Day 6: Airbrushing RLM81 (Braunviolett) ... But I like the result 😉

How small can helicopters be ? 🙂 Amazing work!

Chris
Maybe you missed the two Kingfisher-planes on their catapults on the back of the ship 😉

Thank you!

Neuling
Obviously. They were so tiny .... 🙂

Dornier knew how to make seaplanes and this one is superb in its civil version.
Transparent parts can be improved with polishing pastes

Chris
Thank you. I will try this first. In case of failing I will try vac-forming it. If failing again I think I heard of third party canopies and will make a search.

It looks just like a real one , just gorgeous.

Chris
Today I finished this car. I am happy how it looks and as I always say: My best model is the one I just finished. I learned a lot and the next one will be better.
hope you enjoyed the build and I want to say thank you for following and watching. 😄

Looking good so far, Chris.

The black ring you are referring to was painted on the test vehicles, SA-500, which both Revell and Airfix used as reference for their respective kits. If you're not accurately modelling a specific Saturn V, don't worry about it. As to your other curiosity, the real Saturn V was 363 feet (110.6 meters) tall and weighed an average of 6.3 million pounds (2.8 million kilograms) at takeoff, depending on the mission.

Chris
Thank you, Mike. That clarified a few things. As I do not want to build a specific Rocket, I agree and don't mind the painting. There are some things I learned during building, so I would have to build a second one, that woukd be more accurate. 😉
