Today I worked a bit masking the canopy. I tried also the door took from the Falcon aftermarket and it should work...

Dear all, thanks for your interest! I'm really amazed and grateful!
Happy Epiphany! (For those that are concerned) 🙂

Well done so far, Moreno. Making these old kits has a lot of merit but you can still get a good result 🙂
Happy 2024!

... Today I saw this:
Italian Cobras #2 (Exotic Decals ED72017, 1:72)
...And I'm really tempted to change the project in favour of Bugs Bunny (second plane in the picture) 🙂
I discovered this profile more than ten ten years ago, and finally someone produced decals with that insignia! (Used by lieutenant Eugenio Salvi in Galatina in 1945)

Oh, looks fun: Change to the "Bugs Bunny". Yeah! 🙂
(It's your model.)

I have decided, I will change the project towards the Italian model.
As I wrote above, I've known about that profile for more than ten years, and I can't wait to try the new decals.
I will update the project album with some images of the sources, which the Polish producers of the decals followed. Stay tuned 🙂

Following. It's always good to see the kits of old days done in this era of over the top model kits.

Many thanks mates!
@Cuajete: thank you, yes, Bugs Bunny is really interesting, also the "tuffatrice" Pin up is very particular
@Patryk: I totally agree with you, I'm really enjoying the kit, and I'm taking some inspiration from the last over the top models 🙂

Applied a first gloss layer and starting considering the decals🙂

Well, I did an error like a novice. I applied the four blades propeller in the first steps, following the instructions for the french plane, and I just realised that the Italian planes had a three blades propeller... I'll have to do a little modification 🙂

Here we are! Bugs is on place, and the correct propeller is coming 🙂

I worked on the landing gear and adjusted the clearance for the right access door, using a Dremel type tool. Pics will follow!

Thank you mate. They are a bit "heavy", but I'll correct them in the next stages

Resumed today applying canopies and working on some details...

Thanks mate! I have already applied the transparents and some final small parts. I need only to find time in these dense weeks to work on the walkways, antenna wire and co.
