Title: Ciao from Italy
Post by: andonio64 on May 07, 2012, 09:42:24 PM

Hallo everybody,
It's one and a half year I am returning to modeling after more than 20 years!

I am interested mostly in WW1 planes and especially on Italian ones (either Italian build or Italian use or both!).
But I also am interested in floaters (WW1 and "between-the-wars" period)

My favourite scale is 1/48.

My present modeling life saw me working on:
- Ansaldo SVA5 1:50 SMER (terrible kit but a great way to take some rust off my skills)

- Curtiss R3C-0 / 1:48 Fine Molds
- Savoia S21 / 1:48 Fine Molds
(From "Porco Rosso" Miyazaki movie)

At present I am working on a RODEN 1/72 Albatros W4...
Progresses are very slow but I have no hurry.
I must say I am not feeling self confident with this scale...

Ok buddies, I hope I'll have time to post my works as soon as possible

Ciao

Antonio

I am sorry it's in Italian, but the pictures speak for themselves (as in every WIP!!!)

Ciao
