Fiat G-55 Centauro 1/72

Greetings. The previous weekend looking for some piled up prints I found this Zio model. My first model when I started with the paper was a Zio design. I built many of his models, unfortunately no one survived, several nephews did their work. For a long time I did not build a Zio, although it is not my best construction of a Zio, I had a lot of fun. I recognize that I am half "rusty" with these designs, I had forgotten that they are not so simple, the shape of the fuselage, the assembly of the wings, the slightest error causes everything to be "twisted" we say here, I think they will understand what I mean. Several pleasant hours, the model is original as it comes, only new lashes in some parts and wire for the cannons, I like Zio models as they come. Photos of the assembly

Great job! It's always nice to see a Zio plane being built. Did you seal it off with a gloss layer?

I too very much enjoy these models. And luckily I don't have any nephews messing around with them. My shelves are just getting more and more crammed with little planes...

Thank you PK, as the print was not very good apply transparent lacquer.The reflection of light makes it look brighter than it actually is.And fortunately my nephews are "calm" and school. I will have to negotiate with some , but they always win.

No argument from me regarding Zio's being a bit tricky to build. But when you pull it off (as you have nicely done here Sergio) they look great. Well done.

You are absolutely right asaf, Zio's designs are great
Garry, they are not difficult at all, in fact they are simple if you curve well before closing, these fuselages of a piece force you to bend as best as possible before closing, then something you can correct .
The wings, to make them look the same, I think is the most delicate thing, if you miss something, they will turn around.
Thanks for watching guys.
