Ok, here goes, Actually I had got it more completed in 2012 than I thought; I found a match box with the rudders ready and the set of tyres in various states of sanding. Now.. the dust must be removed gently and then it is Avanti!

Cheers, Skyhook

Me too! An amazing plane that definitely needs to be represented in model form.

This is absolutely gorgeous ! I had planned to do that several years ago but lost interest after building my Caproni Ca 3's...I'm looking forward to watching this progress!

Must have been a very large shelf to hold this queen!

It's an incredible scratch build, I'll definitely follow.

Thanks!

Lately I have been working in the tyre factory. Quite hard to make them all exactly the same size?

The tyre factory seems to be working well. Looks like it's going to be a good year.....
