Hello!
After one year I decided to progress this model that was sleeping in my cabinet.
Here following some pictures of the finished engine and some other stuff.
Lower side of wings got a first coat of Italian national colours.

One of the next stages to build my Macchi will require ovoid shaped struts, see enclosed and I learned from a friend that CONTRAIL made those struts in the past, any idea where I could find them? Or any suggestion on how could I make them?
Thanks in advance

Looking good Albert. You might have better luck asking about struts here, the first site contains your model...
