Hi,
here I'm with a few more pictures, this time with some decal added.
Wing and fuselage fasces are from the kit while the tiger emblem and the number on landing gear cover are self-made.
To get the right contrast for the yellow and light blue on the tiger, I had to paint a white background.
Now I have to find a solution for the "squadriglia" and individual number "169-5"
The issue is on the white outline. I tried with drawing ink but it didn't worked so far; I will try again but I'm afraid the only solution will be to paint on white decal paper and very carefully cut each number.
Of course I still have to add those small details like machine guns barrels, pitot and Venturi tube etc., plus cowling components and then give some ageing and weathering to everything.
I'm not too happy for the camouflage mottling. The pattern is correct for a machine built by Aer Macchi in 1941, but the mottling itself should have been more dense.
Honestly I'm not too good with free-hand airbrush.
Any comment/suggestion is more then welcome.
Cheers
Alberto
