Looks good. I have yet to complete one of these successfully so will learn from your experience.

@ Don, They actually are quite easy to do. But you have to do some curving ahead of glueing. I have the experience Zio's models are a lot about curving the parts right. Even the glue tabs.
In the end the turn out very nice little models.
I did the Folgore and the Saetta, both are very nice models. The Folgore I did had one small mistake; the part at the back of the canopy was too small and I had to enlarge it to get it fitted.

Looking good, so far, Michael! The curving of the fuselage is looking quite spot on.

More WIP. Because these were designed without formers I added a partially folded horizontal strip the length of the fuse to keep the oval shape.

Major sub assemblies ready. I glued a wire inside wings to maintain dihedral.

Looks great! Nice clean, precise craftsmanship.

And a very pretty airplane to start with.
