another whats this

[woljags]

another rare kit for restoration this time vac form but what is it,it looks a little like a beechcraft to me but i really don't know

any idea chaps

 

[Wurger]

It looks like the IMAM Ro.57 figther-bomber plane.

 

[woljags]

wow that was quick thanks mate,i would have never thought it was Italian,what date would this be from 1939-40?

 

[Wurger]

The plane based on a 1938 design by Giovanni Galasso, However the aircraft did not enter production until 1943. By the time it entered service it was considered obsolete.

A few shots of a model of the plane in another camo scheme you can see here

[woljags]

[Wurger]

You'r welcome.

 

[A4K]

Good stuff guys, never heard of that one!

 

[woljags]

i've quite a few odd little kits like this one of which i don't know what they are,thanks very much chaps for helping me find out what they are,back to the kit i've now filled and primed her ready for detailing properly and would be interested in any detailed profiles anyone might have to finish her as

 

[Wurger]

Not too many of them can be found via the net

 

[woljags]

nice one cheers Wojtek

 

[Thorlifter]

Rare bird indeed. I never even heard of it.

 

[woljags]

sorry i've not been on lately but i've been short of time due to work commitments

progress so far,Thanks again to Wojtek for the camo pattern,i've added a few little bits of my own[i've changed the tail colours from the profile pic],i've still quite a bit of detailing still to do but its not come up to bad for an old vac form kit

 

[Airframes]

Heck of a difference !

 

[Wurger]

Yep...

 

[woljags]

cheers chaps,it looks even better in real life as the photos are not quite picking up all the detail,i think i will have to invest in a new camera

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Never heard of that one before. Nice job Woljags!

 

[Gnomey]
