**** DONE: GB-55 1/48 Fiat CR.42 - MTO III

[Mainly28s]

Adding another type flown by Hans-Werner Lerche to my collection. As I can't be definitive about a machine he flew, I'll go with the default colours in the box (not the ones on the box-top), which are roughly in the correct area and time-frame as his log entries.

Good stuff Olaf. Haven't seen one of these built yet. This came in another Italeri boxing and may help

Good one. I built that kit for one of the BoB Group Builds a while back. Feel free to refer to it if you like.

Nice little kit with some lovely rigging.

That's one reason I chose it Vic!

Another great subject I always liked the Italian biplanes in WW2.

Nice one, look forward to seeing it...

It's begun!

The cockpit tub and tailwheel have been done, and will be painted this weekend.
I like that one has the option of using either a set of decals or moulded instrument panel pieces.

 

[Crimea_River]

Good start.

Looks like a nicely moulded kit with clean lines.

 

[Lancaster630]

Looks like a good start there!

Interesting choice and nice progress.

 

[Mainly28s]

A bit of progress- I may diverge from the sequence and add the undercarriage before the upper wing.

It really IS a nicely designed kit.
