Fabrizio's site and models are well known and very well liked!
Unfortunately, Fabrizio passed away a very short time ago.
A great loss to the papermodeling community. :(

Currently looking at the Messerschmitt Bf-109's...

These look amazing.

Its truly sad knowing he is no longer with us.

Here is a question. Since Zio has sadly passed away what becomes of his models? Who will pay to keep the site up? It would be very sad for his work to become a "404 error".

I think I did my part. On the Saturday that I discovered his passing, I went through and clicked on EVERYTHING I could see while on Wayback Machine. As long as Internet Archive is around, unless there is a glitch, or it too goes away, most of his material should be able to be found. Honestly, I thought it was a day and evening well spent, even if it was more than a little depressing

I had no idea he passed thanks for the heads up... I guess for now we might as well get and save his work...

Keeping and sharing his stuff amongst modeling enthusists is probably the best way to honor his work...

So sorry to hear he is no longer with us...his Bismarck which I am building means I am unlikely to forget him.

i do like this kit but i believe the other ships insructions are what the pictures are all about... the Bismark BB has paper size on the 1st page so it to me looks like the instructions are all over the place right in front of us....
