1:32nd scale Macchi M.5
« on: March 29, 2024, 02:30:30 AM »
Hi all,
The Macchi M.5, Serial No.7242 as flown by Tenente di Vascello Federico Carlo Martinengo, Officer Commanding No.260a Squadriglia, operating from Saint Andrea Seaplane Station near Venice during 1918.

As usual a detailed build log in PDF format can be viewed or downloaded from the 'Logs' page on my web site.

Stunning. Not sure which impresses me more, your builds, or the way they're presented... it's a marvelous combination, at any rate.

Now that is an eye-catcher. Superb model brilliantly presented. I do like a flying boat and seeing this makes me want to build one.

Looks ready to take off and hunt some Austro-Hungarian machines!  Lovely work and the pilot really sets it off and gives it scale.
