Hi Mates and the Italian candidate for the story project Maritime Patrol in WWII.

Just a small serie of maritime Patrol Planes by different air forcrs!
Jens (Bat 21) and me will also do a small Gb with rhe H8K emily!
If anybody is interested we can do an Offizial Groupbuild about maritime aircraft!

Looking forwards to this GB show. Agree with Villiers that's a lovely bit of box art.

I've always been very fond of three-engine aircraft. They exude such a special personal charm and elegance. In this case, it's all enhanced by the floats.
I will follow your build with great interest 👀

Daniel, I am very surprised with the latest models that you are making. Great!

Defo in Daniel.Always thought the Airone was/is an attractive aircraft.

![](/profiles/img/103989-963-s.jpg)
I have to agree with Ludvik, the three engine and h-tail aircraft just seem to personify that classic age of flight after WWI through the end of WWII.

Dear Daniel, I've just read your review (useful to test my Deutsch understanding 🙂 ) and I totally agree with you: "Also bis jetzt hat sich der Kauf auch wenn man den alten Bausatz von Supermodell sein Eigen nennt gelohnt." 🙂
PS for the clear parts, there is this option: Italy (Part 2) (Falcon 23, 1:72)

Welcome ALec and Bernd. Glad to have you both here 👍 Still some patience needed, cause i am in a rehab program at the moment.

Following as I also have this onevin my stash, however that is an older release before Italleri upgraded the molds. Curious to see the changes!
21 June 2023, 12:59
![](/profiles/img/user-s.jpg)
Nice aircraft, no doubt ! The Italeri version is slightly different (and better !) than the original Supermodel, but some problems remain. This is not very fresh to my memory, but there might be a problem of shape with the horizontal or vertical stabilizer and with the wings engines's location, but it may originate in Ali d'Italia's plan and i haven't spent enough time to be affirmative on those points. The Lanciani's turret is correct, don't trust the scheme published by Ali d'Italia... The overall shape must be corresponding to the aircraft preserved at Vigna del Valle. Sadly, i cannot join the "maybe" groupbuild unless fitting floats to the Junkers G.24 which is on my workbench... Good luck !

Hi Mates and warm welcome again!
The built is still like an older short run. It is not a shake and bake for sure!
But mates does anyone know waht is the correct name and perhaps anyone has a link to the specifications of this type of crane?

Hi Daniel, I'll do a search in my documentation and I'll try to be back with some useful information

Hi Moreno,
Thank you mate! Those beam cranes were only used at Elmas harbour Cagliari Sardegna! Found some orig pictures!
~ 25m in height and the beam had a diameter of~ 2m!
So a simple conic wooden device handle cut to 33,5cm as main beam will do 👍
1 July 2023, 12:40
![](/profiles/img/87527-778-s.jpg)
Great mate! I was able to find something about the crane in Vigna di Valle, but it was different. If you were already able to find some information about those in Elmas it's perfect!
Great start, as usual!

In Spain we had these other cranes of German origin for the Do.24 of the Air Rescue Service. I couldn't find out the name of these big cranes:
aviationcorner.net/show_photo_en.asp?id=158019
Daniel, I'm glad the project has already started. I guess that means you're feeling better 🙂
Do you have pics of the interiors of your Airone?
1 July 2023, 18:34
![](/profiles/img/38460-541-s.jpg)
Hi Mates!
@Cuajete yeah slowly it developes in the right direction 🙂
Here are some pics. I also have a good book with many pics but in the end you will not see much of it despite of the main canopy.
The overall fit is rather meh, and you definetly remark while building it, that the tool is 50 years old.
The modular parts are really hard to implement into the fuselage without big gaps for example.
A lot of styrene, sanding and putty was needed.
3 July 2023, 21:30
![](/profiles/img/87527-778-s.jpg)
Great result Daniel! What book are you referring to?
...Let me add that "Tamigawa are for kids, Supermodels are fro men", and for sure you are one of those! 🙂 😉
4 July 2023, 18:59
![](/profiles/img/26441-134-s.jpg)
Oh, I want to check this one out. I'd love to build one of these in 1/144... not sure I can make that happen, but in the meantime I can collect some ideas from the master. 🙂

It's gotten pretty big in here. Every day a little closer to the finish line. 🙂

I hope to learn from this to one day apply it to my SAR Dornier Do-24.
Daniel, how did you make the ground rails on the dock?
28 July 2023, 19:39
![](/profiles/img/38460-541-s.jpg)
Welcome Finn, Eddie and Cuajete and thanks mates👍
@cuajete i implemented it from sheet of a H0 STreet unit.
First layer of clear coat for the water is done. The cubblestone and concrete parts of the kay are also almost finished.
29 July 2023, 20:00

After a sudden and complete compressor blackout (pic29) it is now getting closer to the finish line with the Aircraft.

Very nice! Great job on the crane. You can see you paid a lot of attention to detail work. 👍 I wish the work continues to do as well.

What a paint work !!! The first time i can see such work with an aircraft model...
14 August 2023, 09:48

Thank you Ludvik and yes this would have been the easiest typ of Crane to do by scratch all the others are a bit of stringbag.
@Transall Thank you very much and i hope it will work out in the end 👍

I am really surprised how elegant this machine looks, even with the big Floats on it!

Great progress Daniel and yes, the Italian planes by Ing. Zappata were very elegant, and usually effective...

Hi David and welcome. Thank you very much for your nice comments mates. Very much appreciated...
Yes Moreneo I like them a lot.. SO i started with scratchbuilding the main Cab of the crane. Two Octagons were cut out ans now the windowing starts.
It really looks like a greenhouse 🙂

Wow... Great job so far, Daniel. I love your classic marbling work.
The dock and the crane are from championship.
Go on!

The base construction for the counterweight will look like this! Pic 40!
23 August 2023, 15:45
![](/profiles/img/38460-541-s.jpg)
Painting and Weathering is almost done! Just a few steps as cleaning and matte coat left to do...

Thank you gentlemen for your nice and warm words! 👍 Before the final steps with th Airone will be done, iam waiting for some parts for the crane to finish.

The crane is coming together really nicely - definately looks like it has plenty of load capacity !! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for where the plane's centre of gravity lies.... will you be able to adjust for 'trim'?
6 September 2023, 16:26
![](/profiles/img/27826-126-s.jpg)
Looks great so far. Good progress, Daniel.
What piece did you use for the crane counterweight?
6 September 2023, 17:52
![](/profiles/img/38460-541-s.jpg)
Thank you Bruce and Cuajete, very much appreciated 👍
The crane had a Load capacity of about 12t! ANd i hope the balance weights, which i put into the floaters front will do.🙂 The Cranes base will be turnable and the wires will be movable to.
@Cuajete thanky mate and those are 32mm diameter washers with a 5mm hole. 4 of them glued together. The Bracket is scratched and all is screwd into the boom.
6 September 2023, 19:47
![](/profiles/img/27826-126-s.jpg)
Daniel, it will be quite a work of engineering. Also functional. Brilliant! 🙂 👍
7 September 2023, 18:32
![](/profiles/img/38460-541-s.jpg)
Hi Mate oh yes, indeed.. Thanks for the support.. So the next step is nearly finished with the railing of the main boom.
And the height is quite alright i guess,.The figure is just for comparison purposes.
12 September 2023, 18:55
![](/profiles/img/38460-541-s.jpg)
Hi the greenhouse is equipped and the basic color is added!
The crane is also ready for coloring! A thin layer of Mr surfacer added!
21 September 2023, 05:34
![](/profiles/img/21997-347-s.jpg)
Great progress, the crane looks so nice!
You can try very thin fishing line to hold the plane. This should be strong enough.
21 September 2023, 06:18
![](/profiles/img/38460-541-s.jpg)
Hi Frank Thank you mate 👍
and Good idea! I will consider this !
21 September 2023, 12:58
![](/profiles/img/38460-541-s.jpg)
Hi mates, the crane is almost finished now. Just waiting for the Hook to do the roping and rigging!

Hi Moreno and Edward, thank you very much mates! You words are very much appreciated.
9 October 2023, 19:07
![](/profiles/img/69549-161-s.jpg)
Great job, the crane looks very good. As Villiers wrote. It's fascinating to see how your project is developing. 👍
10 October 2023, 08:07
![](/profiles/img/38460-541-s.jpg)
Thank you very much Mates for your nice and encouraging words 👍 For a long time Project like this that extra motivation is needed.
Meanwhile A small group of Spectators is gathering at the kay 🙂
11 October 2023, 20:01
![](/profiles/img/52428-144-s.jpg)
As many have stated already, this is really impressive and a great job. It will make a nice display where ever you find the space to keep it displayed.
Question - the dock, could you explain a bit on it's construction. I have a sub that I'd like to show next to a dock and yours look great.
Again, nice job.
11 October 2023, 20:52
![](/profiles/img/38460-541-s.jpg)
Thank you very much William and Ralf👍
@wlliam i will do a short how to when it is finished😉
So the wires and hooks and the signal lights are ready!
The Airone will be hooked shortly😉
16 October 2023, 15:11

@ Lukasz yap was my First thought too😉
Thank you very much villiers👍

Thank you very much Michael and Sascha👍
I underestimated the tail heaviness!😬
But should be no problem to fix😉
19 October 2023, 09:37

Absolute masterpiece, fantastic scene.
Admiration and respect!

Great diorama, is something completely different. Awesome work. Very very nice,.
24 October 2023, 17:35
![](/profiles/img/21997-347-s.jpg)
Maybe you can fill Liquid Gravity (Deluxe Materials BD38, No) into the floats?
25 October 2023, 07:00
![](/profiles/img/38460-541-s.jpg)
Wow!! Thank you all so much Mates, for your very kind and mortivating words💪
@ bughunter how is the viscosity of that stuff?
Is it possible add it into the float through a drilled hole?
26 October 2023, 15:01
![](/profiles/img/21997-347-s.jpg)
That was my idea with a little hole. I have not used it yet, but it is not liquid but made from little balls which "flow".
Please see the review on the product page (my link), there is a video which shows the material and the usage. The Zinnfiguren shop (also linked there) has also this video.
A comment says this are steel shot used for abrasive blasting, so may be you can found this easier.
26 October 2023, 18:52
![](/profiles/img/38460-541-s.jpg)
Thanky Frank... Already waiting for Delivery🙂
@Moreno...Jap 👍
The Airone is ready for the final weathering steps
31 October 2023, 20:00
![](/profiles/img/21997-347-s.jpg)
Do you already have ballast in the floats?
What a pity, I had hoped to have a look at the model and talk to the builder after a loooong time, but a nasty virus had other plans.
Get well soon!
6 November 2023, 11:39
![](/profiles/img/38460-541-s.jpg)
Thank you Marcel Lukasz and Moreno! It is not finished just a bit of fooling around with the figures. Luigi the big cook is already waiting for action 🙂
I decided to do the Cart for Land transport also by scratch evergreens just arrived.
Also i will hang the plane a littler bit lower cause i believe they only put the Aircrafts as high as necessary.
@Frank, yes it is absolutely annoying. Think i catched both influenca and covid at the same time. It is much better since Tuesday morning.
Still a bit of a headache and dripping nose, but no coughing o fever anymore.
The ballast is already added yes. Still a bit tailsitting but that is ok for me.
9 November 2023, 18:35
![](/profiles/img/69549-161-s.jpg)
Daniel, I'm glad to hear you're feeling better. I look forward to continuing this fantastic project.
9 November 2023, 19:15
![](/profiles/img/38460-541-s.jpg)
Hi Ludvik! Thank you very much and yes it is nearly gone by now 👍
So the basic sonstruction of the Trolley is done. Some more detailing like rivets, locks and loops still to do. Evergreen has just some cool stuff.
And of course the holder for the Floats.
10 November 2023, 15:32
![](/profiles/img/87527-778-s.jpg)
Great progress Daniel and glad you are fine now! Mates, take care, viruses are still around!
11 November 2023, 08:18
![](/profiles/img/38460-541-s.jpg)
Thank you David, Rui and Moreno... And yes they are expensive but still best stuff around when it comes to scratchbuild.
So i did the basic costruction of the Float holders with styrodur.
@Moreno yap the threads are growing with every year as it seems. Thanky mate👍
11 November 2023, 21:36
![](/profiles/img/38460-541-s.jpg)
Hi Erik, no never heard of it. Thanks Mate. They are looking pretty cool and the choice is really big.

Very nice work on the dolly. This whole project has me nailed to my chair.
12 November 2023, 15:45

Thank you very much Villiers, very much appreciate your words Sir👍 Basic color is added.
13 November 2023, 22:01
![](/profiles/img/14709-772-s.jpg)
Small suggestion for improvement: Shouldn't the transport trolley be within the swing radius of the crane?
19 November 2023, 10:15
![](/profiles/img/38460-541-s.jpg)
Hi Jens, yes that would make sense although the Cart was movable with steerable wheels. 🙂
19 November 2023, 11:18
![](/profiles/img/38460-541-s.jpg)
Another step closer to the finish line! The Airone is well balanced on the hook.
And after a bit of research about the trolley color, i found this pic! So i have to change the windows to sliding canopy. Well should be no problem.

Wow, thank you very much Edward for your very motivating comment. 👍
19 November 2023, 21:26
![](/profiles/img/62039-689-s.jpg)
This is stunning work, Daniel. How did you secure the attachment points so that it can support the weight of the plane?
22 November 2023, 13:07
![](/profiles/img/38460-541-s.jpg)
Hi MAtes, thank you very much David, Villiers and HSC for your kind comments. Iam growing with every word🙂
@HSC: I secured the attachement points by drilling two small holes to every point and sank two heated half loop from the underside to the wing roots.
Then i welded the upper loops to the half loope coming through the plastic. That should last for decades🙂
24 November 2023, 19:53
![](/profiles/img/38460-541-s.jpg)
Hi HSC, unfortunately not! And of course i meant soldered not welded sorry😉
But i can do a little sketch of it, if wanted!
25 November 2023, 09:41
![](/profiles/img/87527-778-s.jpg)
Well, Daniel, I can only say that when we met here a couple of years ago, I saw your SM 82 and thought that a CANT Z 506 would be a perfect combination.
Now I can see that, and you also realised a superlative diorama.
What else? I think it's one of the best build I saw around since a long time!
26 November 2023, 07:17
![](/profiles/img/11807-s.jpg)
Fantastic work, everything is very well built and very well painted, the result is magnificent 👍
26 November 2023, 08:35
![](/profiles/img/69549-161-s.jpg)
A truly unique work. Everything fits together perfectly. Diorama tells a story that draws the viewer into the action. I really like it. 👍👍👍

Hi Mates, than you all for your great support and motivating words throughout this project!
It is finished now. Only a small bit is missing but i have to wait til it is available. And because Dust is an enemy, i will store it til the arrival.

The attention to - so many - details has paid dividends, Daniel. Superb creation for sure 🙂 The busy figures add to the scene too. Congratulations on your hard work 🙂
28 December 2023, 16:43
![](/profiles/img/27826-126-s.jpg)
Wow... What an incredible construction, Daniel. The handwork of the detailed crane is fantastic (it even supports the weight of the Cant Z. in a balanced way!), as well as the rest of the dock, the final result of the plane, the figures and the magnificent cart made from scratch. I am perplexed by what my eyes have been able to see. I'm sorry I haven't been able to see the progress of the last few months, but this way I've been able to avoid the desire to see it finished soon 😄
The photo perspectives are very good. This diorama has to be huge. You improve yourself by leaps and bounds over time. I love it!
Congrats!
8 January, 20:13
![](/profiles/img/127872-122-s.jpg)
humbling, very humbling. I love the crane and it makes for a creative and original diorama. All the attention to detail you put into this has paid off the result is brilliant.

Thank you all very much mates for your absolute fantastic feedback and your patience throughout this built!
It really was fun and with all of your encouraging words and hints, i am quite satisfied with the result too. And so i chose to do another this kind but this time with a
RAF Flying boat by Matchbox 🙂
Once again thank you all for your very nice comments mates @Cuajete very happy you like it ! Hope everythings alright!?
I really very much appreciate them.

![](/profiles/img/103074-299-s.jpg)
This is lovely, made me laugh that everyone is more interested in the diorama than the model.😂😃😂 , but what a diorama , brilliant.
Quick question about how you did the "marbling" on the plane ( photos 30 and 31) ?
6 February, 17:46
![](/profiles/img/121752-978-s.jpg)
wow! A real stunner! I can't believe how I almost missed this gem! Of all your posted albums, this was definitely my favorite - bringing together so many disciplines in our craft. did you enter this into a competition?
