Title: Shelf Queen group build 2025 - Caproni Ca.42 scratchbuilt 1/72
Post by: Skyhook on June 13, 2025, 10:51:02 PM: Hi!

Now it is ready, just before the deadline

It is in 1/72, basically a totally scratch built model, excluding the red centres for the roundels, which are surplus Hinomarus from a Tamiya Zero. You can follow the build in a thread in the Under Construction section.

These photos are taken in a hurry (going for a holiday tomorrow) and I think I will add better ones after a week or so. But here it is!

Cheers, Skyhook

Post by: Dirigible-Al on June 16, 2025, 12:37:25 AM: I think this would have been daunting to start and even harder to keep going. I commend you for seeing it thru to the finish. But what a result!
