Antonio, I must confess I didn't realise that your good wife was poorly.  It is happy news that
things are going better for her...and you.  Walks together are good - enjoy them!  My best wishes
to you both for the future. :)

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Nice scheme and look forward to completion pics. ( Stacked coins- another idea for jigs) Best wishes to you and your wife.
Life is short, enjoy it, nobody gets out alive.

Ladies and Gentlemen, here is the long awaited SVA 5 finally completed !

Here we go with the walkaround:





















Some of you may already know, this is my second SVA5, and both the models were dedicated to the "87a Squadriglia aereoplani da caccia". Those daring pilots who in August 1918 flew to Vienna and back to Italy dropping propaganda leaflets and not bombs.

So I dedicated a unique base to Ten. Giordano Bruno Granzarolo (White tail - n.1) and Ten. Aldo FIlzi (Green tail - n.5)





Here they go in a comparison: the n.1 was a 1/50 SMER kit (dreadful) and this is the FLY kit (very good)!







OK now that's really all.

Thanks everybody for the patience and the continuous encouragement and support in good and bad times!

Love to you all

Antonio

What stunning models, Antonio!  The camouflage on the wings is really different...and
wonderful!  You really have out-done yourself, my friend!  Your build log was very
entertaining and informative.  Thank you so much for sharing, and I hope you will
have a new project for us before too long. :)

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Congrats for your SVA Antonio.

Quite a beatiful piece of model. The scheme it's amazing and very appealing. The modes look great together.

If mine 1/72 turns out half as good, i'll be a happy man.

Cheers.

Congratulations on completing another brilliant model, Antonio.  She looks fantastic next to her sister ship.
Cheers,
