Finally finished!
Work and family time have kept me busy lately. I was however able to put the final touches on this aircraft. I?m not real pleased with the outcome, the right lower resin wing has warped a little. The beaching dolly doesn?t seem to fit well either.
Gottfried Von Banfield flew this aircraft as his primary mount from Trieste naval air station through-out the war. He has no recorded kill in it despite his nine victories. He claims several more aircraft forced down but most were quickly recovered by the Italian MAS fast attack boats that operated in conjunction with the Italian aircraft bombing missions. .
I rarely paint or add figures to my models. Here?s my attempt for this project.
Another issue I had was the fine black outline of the crosses. My decals broke up considerably and I had to freehand a lot of the outline.
I purchased what I thought was a finished grassy base on eBay. It turns out it?s just a print mounted photo. Doesn?t look too bad though!
Thanks for looking in!
