Wow! Just seen this. I'd assumed it was a WW2 subject previously and not looked.
Now I see it is far more than that. What a machine! What a scratchbuild!
Congratulations on everything so far.

Hi and thank you all for the nice comments!

I have had extremely busy last two months at work and have been totally unable to follow the forum properly. But now I managed to find the time to finish the Caproni and get the endless rigging done, more or less. I am leaving for a holiday tomorrow, so these photos are just to show that it is finally ready, just before the deadline.

There is actually a few finishing touches to be done, but nothing that is very essential. I managed to take a few photos of it with minimal effort this morning and i will add them to the Completed Models section very soon. I also noticed that my background plates are way too small for a model of this size?.

But here goes!

Cheers, Skyhook

Most importantly ENJOY YOUR HOLIDAY! As for the Caproni WELL DONE! That's a magnificent achievement.

I heard that it all started when a bloke called Archie Duke shot an ostrich 'cause he was hungry!
