Back to aircraft modelling!
I did some assembly work with some upgrading inspired by the very nice article written by Maurizio Di Terlizzi for Silver Wings

Review Builds | Silver Wings

Here some pictures:

Happy New Year!

Nice work Alberto, and just reminded me to add a Cr42 to my BoB line up.

Hi,
some more progress on this bird.

Upper wing assembled with some small gaps duly filled:

Main landing gear assembled and some padding added to the cockpit

Also scratch-built two search lights

One each oval glasses will be added in front of the search lights.

Added air intake to the cowl

So now I'm almost ready to start with primer to be followed by painting.
Cheers
Alberto

All's looking good Alberto, this is going to be one interesting model with some interesting scratch built add-ons.

Few more little steps forward:
- added some extra padding on cockpit edges and windscreen
- assembled central wing struts
- prepared for primer painting that I will do possibly tomorrow

Nice. I'm sure you're not going to leave those elevators uneven...

 

[Wayne Little]

looking good Alberto the extra padding, a nice touch!

 

[al49]

Nice. I'm sure you're not going to leave those elevators uneven...

Of course: they are there just for painting purposes.
