What a great job, Nando. The rigging looks really nice, too. Not a plane I would have chosen, but you may have changed my mind about it. I've been working on a list of Bruno's models I want and I think I may add this one to the list.
One question, are the struts paper as well or did you have to reinforce them. Super job and thanks for sharing. Dave

Thanks
Wyvern, YOAVHOZMI, dhanners, gomidefilho, scissorsandplanes, sparrowhawk, Loui, Isaac, MacSongLi, thank you all for your kind appreciations.
 dhanners, sparrowhawk, Isaac, I agree with you for the unique and inusual design of this plane. If you think that this plane was conceived immediatly after the first world war ( first flight: august 1924 ), it's outstanding how many advanced features included for this time: monoplane solution, two engines mounted in tandem for reduce the drag, two equal hulls for get a strong structure and a good nautical stability. May be precisely those features concurred to confine the plane at a marginal role, till when propaganda needs did emerge it again. And so, almost a decade later, it could show its qualities. Quote:
About the struts, they are of paper, I only tried to round them, as they are in reality ( see the picture below ). To give more rigidity to the struts, I usually use CA glue, that make the paper strong like the p.....c.  Best, Nando

It is No. 872 on Bruno's list of models, so it should be available from him. I recommend a PM to him at scissorsandplanes
Also on the list are: 873. Savoia Marchetti S55M Italy 874. Savoia Marchetti S55A Brazil 875. Savoia Marchetti S55A Italy Stripes 876. Savoia Marchetti S55A Jahû And if Nando built 23 more, he would have a Balbo. Don
