Italian EF 2000 Typhoon "Baracca - 55th anniversary Frecce Tricolori"

[al49]

Here following are some w.i.p. pictures on my build, starting from the beginning.
First issue was represented by the wrong or aproximate rendering of some kit parts. See for example the difference fro Aires parts on the right and Trumpeter ones.
Aires seat was the only option.
But there was nothin to do to correct the shape of the canopy.
More to follow soon.

I also used Reskit nozzles to repleace kit ones, the difference is evident!
Some shots on the cockpit elements assembled and painted.
More to follow soon.
Happy New Year to everybody!!!

During February '24 main components of the model got glued togheter and I also strated looking at landing gears with the addition of some piping.

March '24 was dedicated to paint and detail the seat and paint the whole model, with an attempt of pre-shading.
