Oh, my, Gregory!  You most definitely are back!  Both are magnificent, but that vac 202 is really impressive!  The camo on both are superbly executed.  Very well done, my old friend.
Cheers,
Bud

Hey Gregory!
sometimes great results come from the unexpected! But I think that what you obtained is more due to your wisdom than luck!
Anyway it tourned out great
ciao

Excellent to see that you have taken up modelling again. And for a start with two brilliant models!

Thumbs up and I'm hoping for more.

regards,
Ivo

Sorry I am a bit late with my comments Gregory! Your 202 just blows me away! I have seen those Combat Models vacs and for you to get such gorgeous and detailed results is a testament to your skills! As for the Artiplast kit pretty much the same statement applies  8) Congrats on finishing both to such a high standard!

very nice Gregory! The 1/48 is a real looker, and to have picked up the 202 vac kit and re-immersed your self in the build and finished it to such a high level speaks volumes. Very good to see your work again.

 Bud,
Much appreciated my old friend. Glad you liked my Italian birds. I kind of wish I'd kept track of the hours spent on the Macchi but whatever the figure was it was well worth the effort to me personally.

Many thanks my friend. There are more 1/32 scale Italian project planned and one new project already begun for the Special Hobby 1/32 scale Fiat G-50bis. I'm also strongly considering ordering Combat Models vacuform Breda BA-64 also in 1/32 scale.

Hi Gregory,

somehow I missed this thread before.

I have to say I am really impressed, both builds show excellent modelling skills!

My hats off to your skills with airbrush, the italian camouflage is very difficult to reproduce on a model and you did a first class job on that!

Cheers

Ondra

Well done, always good to see someone ..."get back to the bench"... and do well after a long time "away".
