**** DONE: 1/72 BR20/M "Cicogna" - Mediterranean Theater of Operations

[javlin]

Thks for the kind words Guys but I think she is getting Sexier I got to this stage so quickly using Semi-gloss MM enamel for the clear instead of the Future which takes atleast 24 hrs if not more for a good cure and honestly decals not that glossy and I am short of time.The white crosses for the tails are to long horizontal wise coming off the rudder into the fore section looks like a dry brush later tonight.I tried cutting and pulling the adhesive is quite good!So I figure should have the other clear(s) last one being a flat later this evening and deciding about doing a little weathering I am open to some suggestions on how being she is of raised details.

the mask are off and ALL!! eight windows fell in So the krystal clear was applied.I built the three line radio between the mast out of .004" thread do not like (2nd attempt) so tomorrow will the the guitar wire,third times a charm right?I applied a some washes and mig pigment to the upper/lower surfaces kind of dulled thing down a bit I like the paint though one of my better attempts and even at this stage continue to learn though behind many here on the forum.Thks for looking.

Don't see much wrong with that antenna Kevin.

 

[javlin]

Don't see much wrong with that antenna Kevin.

Thks Andy it's a bit wavy ATTM kinda tuff to keep three lines at the same tension.I will make one out of wire today and if it looks to serve the purpose I will cut that one off.

 

[Crimea_River]

My only concern would be that guitar wire on a 1/72 model will be too thick for the scale.

 

[javlin]

The thread was .004" and the guitar is .006" But you know Andy and you probably play with it more than me but doesn't stretch sprue stay pretty straight?

Beautiful camo on a very unique subject... really stands out!
