Nice smooth body. I really like the camo on the Italian planes.

I thought this plane looked super goofy. Center of lift looked waaaay to far forward of the CG. Upon further investigation, by scrolling down one picture, it was missing a whole wing and engine. It made a lot more sense to me then.

Are you planning on adding any support wires?
I'm excited to see further progress on the engine and nose cowl.
All in all, it looks like a fun unique project, and you're killing it. The seams look really clean, cockpit is just as good, and the color is unique as ever.

Thanks T haf for your kind comments. I am planing to add cable support, to my noldge they are used only at the auter struts.

Good progress of this biplane.

The Italian WW2 desert scheme is really a work of art and is eye catching for a model.

Hello all, time for progress...

All the struts are done and assembeld, total of 18 struts. It was a time consuming process to assemblem them. In each one I inserted a thin metal road to prevent bending. First the real pictures and than the model.





The model...





In parallel, working on the engine cowling



Next is the engine with it's all 14 pistones.
