FLY Ansaldo SVA 5, 1/72
« on: July 24, 2023, 09:39:11 PM »
Finally finished making FLY's Ansaldo SVA 5.  The V shaped struts proved diffiult to fit and seemed to be too long! and it was a lot harder to rig than I thought it would be  - dififult to measure between the struts once the top wing was fitted.  Rest of the kit went together really well.  Rigged with stretched sprue and painted mainly with Vallejo paints.  I used a brown paint pen for the wing ribs and sprayed over the top.

I thought that the model was in a much larger scale until I checked..! Superb finish on the camouflage and wood fuselage. The rigging is excellent - and all on a model in God's Own Scale.

Wonderful looking model and thanks for the hints about the struts.  I have one or two of these in the stash.
