Mr Procrastintor, do you have proof or pictures to back up your statement of the colour scheme similar to the Fiat CR.42. From other published sites on the internet I only see plain finishes to indicate a flat silk or light sand type of colour, the colours used in the Northern Africa campaign...
well, I am in the middle of building one and I am really confused by the various pictures an various comments on accuracy. So . . . . what did you end up with ? Do send me message if ou would be kind to post a picture or two. Grazie.
sure no problem, . . . . and so we reached the end. I have attached some photos of the Airfix S.M.79 that I just finished today. This is my interpretation of an air operation against an enemy over the Mediterranean Sea in 1942. It didn't end well, but we were the first to use this technology...
. . . . e cosi siamo arrivate alla fine. Ho allegato delle foto del Airfix S.M.79 appena finito, oggi stesso. Queso e' la mia interpretazione di una operazione aerea contro un nemico sul Mare Mediterraneo del 1942. non e' finita bene, pero' eravamo i primi nel uso di questa tecnologia, i primi.
Thanks Flavio. Ok, well, I have been ready to put colour on the SM79 that Im building for a few weeks and had no luck in retrieving the colour of that Sparviero, but . . . . having second and third looks at some of the colour plates available on the Osprey Savia Marchetti S.79 Sparviero by...

Ciao, I wonder if you could repost or send me the pdf document, it seems I cannot download it. I have decided to build the P-38 that landed in Sardegna and eventually used by the RA against the American bombers, for a model competition later this spring, and I hope to find out what version the...
That is one sharp looking model, Cpt. Franco Lucchini would have been proud to put it up on his trophy shelf.
Dare I copy the finish you did? only if you tell me the color and methods you use.
Does anyone here appreciate an artist effort to impress a viewer of his art? I get more and more disappointed at some of you guys tat can't say one nice thing about anyne, other that always criticize and analyze and disrespect the effort. I have a signed copy of this work of art.
Hi, I am a resident (actually old resident) of Lesina (FG) Italy. Currently living in Canada and one of my long going projects is the research on the P.80 trials that were conducted in or just outside Lesina. The air base is not far from the outskirts of the town, on a good day one can walk it...
