I must say, to my eyes, it's your best build yet.
The detail makes it look much larger that 1/32nd scale.

Hi all,
Thanks for your comments - much appreciated.

Przemol:
I referred to your build many times - you shouldn't be so modest - it is an exceptional model,

Post by: AndRoby67 on October 17, 2020, 03:33:24 AM: Hi Mike!
First I want to say sorry because I feel like I've abandoned you during build.
Second I want to add that it seems that you don't need me! A beautifully realized italian Baby.
I saw that finally you choose to paint green upper surfaces of lower wings, as for Ansaldo factory drawings suggested. I agree 100% your choice.
References about our Babies are really scarce, so building this model was a challenge more difficult than others.
You've must "choose" with few proofs many passages but I think you've finally reached higher result.
Happy to have helped you and thank you for mention in your build log.

Post by: Jaysena on November 24, 2020, 04:10:13 AM: You're a true artist Mike! You have the distinctive style of a grand master.
Your inventiveness and subtle use of linen effect decals is sublime. Even the display base for the 'baby" is a work of art in its own right. I am truly inspired.....
