The camo is looking good. Looking forward to seeing this plated on your Dio!

Can't get back at it for a few days, my air brush hasn't come in the mail, oh the woes of online shopping

CaptGPF

Love that Cuban blue grey camo👍

Rolf Rolf
I know, it's a unique pattern, wasn't sure how it would turn out before the weathering

I also own this kit. How good, precise and detailed do you think it is?

Rolf Rolf
i do not build a lot of 1 144 scale kits, but as far as the ageof it gos it seems pretty good, it is lacking some details,but theyy are ones you can live without, for example their is no backwall for the inside of the engine intakes

Shar Dipree
Thx.

It is reboxing of Revell's kit, apparently.

I put some black cardboard inside the engine to make it look better, for both the big air intake and the small air intake at the front.

I added a custom clearpart to each side of the wing, a fun and simple fix. 🙂 I had a lot of fun building this (other Revell boxing) kit, nothing too complicated.

I thought the tailhook parts on the Revell kit were weird, iirc.

I wonder if there is any wiring for the Hawkeye plane, it might look even nicer if adding that detail, I don't remember it if has any.

Btw, I think I am reading now that the prototype first flew on 21. October 1960.

By the way, as a fan of the Italian Co-Belligerent Air Force, I like your diorama twice 🙂

Rolf Rolf
I also like the co-bellegrant air force!
