I really like all Italian WW2 camos, more interesting than just variety of blues or greys

Thank you for watching, 72nd scale is too small for me and I always amazed how modellers add scratch build parts, good luck with your build!!!

Thanks 🔥

Good luck, Paul. This is a great kit!!!

Thanks

Thank you. The base color might look darker because of the light (I took my pictures in the dark room), if you take a picture of the same model outside, in the nice sunny day - it will look lighter.

@FlyingCircusModels eso pensé. Gracias, un lindo avión. Saludos desde Chile

Thank you so much!

Thank Les, yes this kit is great and it was easy to build

Based on the plans, I found online, there was a piece of plywood on the top, and cloth on the sides and wings. Of course, I might be wrong, but it's too late😀

It was covered in aluminum panels in many locations, notably around the engine and forward fuselage, like most biplanes of the period. This wasn't 1915.

@MD-qm6gy right, that's why I made some scratches on the nose, but was not sure about the tail. It could be covered with aluminum, not plywood. It's hard to judge by the plans, I saw museum restoration projects, but it wasn't covered at that time

​​@@FlyingCircusModels Only the sides behind the cockpit, rudder frame, and wings were covered with fabric.

Using rivets on fabric homebuilt planes is extremely common now and was used at different times throughout history.

you already saw all my builds on this channel ;-)

@FlyingCircusModels yeah thats true i thought more how you displayed them..

nothing fancy, I just keep them in the closed boxes, to save from the dust

Agree, this plane has it's own charm. I heard that EZline may perish with the time, but only if you leave it on the direct sunlight (even through the glass window) I keep my models in the plastic boxes in my basement, without any direct sunlight, fingers crossed ))

Thanks for the comment, about the serial number I made it based on the picture of the real plane ( postimg.cc/Z0MrLCGb ), and as you can see the white color line is on the same line with the tail stabilizer. even though that the picture has the angle - you can see it clearly. I have no idea why they painted it like that, but I saw a lot verities of serial number locations.

I agree, it looks weird and strange, the engines were on the steel tubes, not on the wings. Those steel patches cover the joints for the tubes on the wings

Thank you so much!!!

Thank you for the comment, I don't think that the plane had a metal propeller, because then there was no point to add deflectors, that protected the propeller from the MG bullets. Moreover, all planes of that period had wooden propellers, they were easy and fast to produce, very cheap in comparison with metal ones

Yes, I do, and my hands are itching to build it

@@FlyingCircusModels 🙂👍🏻

Almost, yeah, I purchased a lot, when they started to sell excess last year. I wish I could buy more

Oh, yeah it's going to be a big, even, huge project

I'm going to build all of them at some point😉

Thanks, Robert. I will make a full build video and the new build will be right after

Thanks!!!

Thanks David!!!

Thank you so much Les!!!

I'm surprised that gloss paints in camouflage colours weren't successful. You get good decal adhesion and eliminate the need for an intermediate gloss coat.

Future works like a gloss coat, it dries also pretty quick. I have a huge bottle and I like to use it

yeah decals are great and right now there is a trend of not using gloss coat before decals, but I do it in the old-fashoined way. Moreover, wash has to be applied only on the gloss coat...

Thank you so much Trevor!!

Thanks Steven!!!

Thanks Ronald, I completely agree with you. I believe companies do not add them to save production money. However, if you take any Trumpeter (especially their early kits), you would rather not have their rivets/bullet holes lol

@@FlyingCircusModels yes, I’ve seen some of the work done by Trumpeter’s mad riveter. ☺️

Great advice!!!

Thanks, actually it was not so hard on this model, all intake tubes come as one piece and exhaust as 4

Thank you so much, Steven

Thanks Les, this kit is great even without any extras - you can build a cool looking model right OOB, however I prefer to add something ;-)

Thanks Rob, when you will build your model, don't forget to insert the propeller shaft, don't repeat my error ))

@@FlyingCircusModels LOL....sure will :)

Дякую, передня кромка і так нефарбований алюміній там не буде нічого видно, тому я зовсім трожи "пошкрябав" задню

@@FlyingCircusModels Вибачте,я не те мав на увазі.Передня кромка за обертанням гвинта.У Вас же не DH2,і не штовхаючий гвинт.Тобто,сколи на задній частині потрібно було робити на іншій кромці.

Зрозуміло, я що зробив, дунув аером на гвинт, спереду - він крутився в одну сторону, то я вирішив, що при польоті він тоді має крутитися в іншу і пошкрябав його так...

Thanks, Trevor!!!

Hi Andre, I'm in Canada, so I don't know what name it has in UK, but you can use any gloss clear varnish instead, it will work in the same way. In Canada/US the name is Pledge Future.

Actually, I found this article, it might help model-railroad-hobbyist.com/node/44131

@@FlyingCircusModels Hi thanks for the reply, it seems its not readily available here in the UK, i will use a gloss varnish instaed thanks so much for the great videos im learning alot from you!

Thank you, David

Good point, right now it's full covered for painting, will do a little wash later

I had my coffee on the background ;-) Not sure if the video about my simple basement workbench and stash will be interesting, but I will think about it...

Thanks, I will go with the Italian one and this will be #83 with the red stripe. I really want to try to paint the Italian camo scheme
