This is coming together very nicely Prze, great work! I've found the CR.42 a fascinating type for a while so I'm enjoying seeing someone of your talents tackle this kit.

Thank you.

More things done - the cowling pieces thinned down, rivetting complete, tail feathers and lower wings attached (with a help of a cardboard rig to control a correct small dihedral, PE bits added to the wheels and the bombs.

Thank you...

And finally some progress, I am quite happy with the camo airbrushed freehandedly. It was not easy, I have not done for a long time and certainly notvwith the airbrush I currently use. So I had to do some practice before got the right combination of pressure, paint consistency and trigger setting.
I still have to add the white band on the fuselage and white crosses  on the rudder. Then decals, shading and wash.

Thanks, Rick!

The decals on, the engine block assembled. Heading for shading and weathering.
