Built this in the 70s, used it in my military base along with some choice matchbox cars. Well, I was only 10.
Come to think of it, my profile picture is of the same period in time.

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.

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! 👍

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.
