Title: Fiat / Savoia Pomilio F5B. 1/72 Blue Rider vac
Post by: Tim Mixon on August 17, 2022, 11:21:41 AM

This is one of my favorite builds to date.  The kit provides a great start but requires a lot of scratch building to get best results.
Here is a partial build log from Hyperscale. Apparently I posted it in multiple segments:

Dear me, what a jewel. :o
I do not know all your builds to date but I am not surprised this one is your favourite. One to be truly proud of.

This is truly amazing; I am in awe of folks who build vacs (32 years in this hobby and I am still not brave enough to try one...!)

Fantastic work, sir!

Beautiful job and a seldom modeled plane!  I like the CDL fabric, you did a nice job of getting it to look a little transparent, letting the light through.  Thanks for sharing.

I don't think this could have been built any better.

Tim,

Well done!  I have this kit for years and never worked up the gumption to build it.  Very nice.

Super build of a lesser known type. The rigging is outstanding and a real feast for me as I am a dedicated pusher fan.
