**** DONE: GB-57 1/48 Savoia Marchetti SM.79 - WW2 Foreign Service

[Mainly28s]

I've got her assembled. As much as I'm going to do, anyway.
I had to fabricate new struts for th tail from some spare rod, as the ones supplied were deformed. The glass under the dorsal turret was missing, so was substituted with some clear plastic sheeting bent to shape and fastened with Krystal Klear, and new pitot tubes from a paper clip.

Tomorrow, some pinlining and weathering, and then remove the masking before I take some completion photos.

Almost there. Good stuff.

Now were cooking, it looks great.

Now you've made my build look scruffy. Looking great.

I think yours looks way better than my attempt- I settle for "good enough" far too quickly.

 

[Gnomey]

Nicely done!

That's turning out real nice considering what you started with. I thought I had built or bought all of The 1/48th Smer kits, but I never saw this one. That's probably a good thing.

 

[Mainly28s]

That's IT! I'm not doing any more on it. I will NEVER get another Smer kit.

Well, just being able to judge by looking at screen images, it seems that you were able to dress up that ugly gal really well.
