This is what the Fiat A.74 engine made from the Yahu Models kit looks like before being put together. You can't see it in the photos, but there are pins and holes in the individual engine segments to make it easier to assemble correctly into a whole. A very cool addition is the nameplate, one tiny one for the engine body and a larger one for use on the stand, for example. The second photo shows the motor already assembled. I can't see it on the photo, but there are some notches on the shaft coming out of the engine, in case someone would like to make a ‘Fiat’ with the propeller removed. There are two engines, but there will be several of these Fiats built.

The fuselage is ready for assembly, Eduard straps are in place, and a Yahu plate has been used. The sight will be mounted after the fuselage is closed.

Hello! After a long absence. This time, I am working on a model of the Fiat G.50 bis ‘Freccia’. I will be using a Fly Models kit (72039) and additional parts in the form of pilot belts from Eduard, an instrument panel from Yahu Models (YMA7253), a Fiat A.74 engine from Yahu Models (YMS7230) and cowlings made by a friend with the designation 368 – 5 on the fuselage. The aircraft will be painted in Furio Lauri's livery, which is not included in the kit, a small change to create a model in a different interesting camouflage.

He would say that this is the end of the construction, but I am still hoping for the tracks and then the whole project will be finished. And for now this is how the ‘Northumrian’ looks like. Enjoy watching, comments and suggestions welcome and even a suggestion on what to build next from the railway?
-
After applying the decals, removing the masks and putting everything together this is how the ‘Gannet’ came out to me. Also welcome what's inside and outside the cabin. And here is another model will be completed.
-
This is how the finished tender itself looks, and now all that remains is to connect it to the locomotive.
-
With a bit of time on my hands I am catching up. This is how all the parts came out prepared for assembly.
-
REACTIVATION of the topic, the tender for the locomotive has arrived in the workshop and only the tracks are missing to make it complete. This is what the printout looks like but there is still a bit of detail and it will be visible during assembly. The railing is with the rungs.
-
Work in progress, decal applied.
-
Painting alternates with masking and this is the effect I achieved.
-
And the fine detailing done and painted. And I made the stripes on the tanks by applying yellow and taping the whole thing, then I made a cube out of LEGO blocks with a hole for the tank and slid it out to the right length and made an incision with a scalpel blade alone.
-
I've done a little bit of fine detail preparation. I am now wondering how to make the stripes on the tanks so that they come out even and straight. I need to find a simple patent for this.
-
Preliminarily the Gannet already looks like this at my place, I am now left with the fun of painting and the rest of the parts. I had to use a few drops of putty and the rest fitted perfectly, the geometry captured with LEGO bricks.
-
A fitting before assembly and everything fits.
-
The operators' cabin prepared to be enclosed in the fuselage but the door will be open so something will be visible.
