I agree completely with My Amigo! I will add that as always the display really sets off the Model and Figure!

What can I add to what these gentlemen have already written. This is one of those models that I could sit and look at for a long time and still keep finding more fine details. Your build log was a joy to follow too.

You may guide EVERY modeller that want to build one.
Simple and powerful diorama.
As Italian, I may say thank you for this fantastic build of one of our sea fighters.

It's now back onto the Port Victoria PV.7 'Grain Kitten' I started a while ago.
Unlike the Macchi, the 'Kitten' will probably be the smallest 1:32nd scale model I'll build,

I have followed your build with interest, Mike, and she has come out really well

The Macchi M5 is one of my favourite WWI 'planes, and I just couldn't justify buying this kit. I was considering scratch building one before the kit came out, I think you may have persuaded me that that is the right approach ;D

Post by: PrzemoL on April 29, 2020, 03:22:33 AM: Oh my dear. The best rendition of M.5 I have ever seen. Great details added to the crude starting material and absolutely top notch paint finish.
Now I will have to wait quite a time before I dare to start and show off my effort on this kit, which is waiting in my stash. Still, I thank you Mike for your build log which will be enormously useful for me when that time comes.

Post by: Bughunter on April 29, 2020, 06:57:02 AM: That is not a model, that is a small original seaplane! Fantastic in all aspects!
It will be the template for mine in 1/48. But for sure I cannot do all that details in smaller scale.

Cheers,
Frank
