Kriss Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 S.M.79 - II "Sparviero" 1:48 Trumpeter Just for relaxation and to de-stress in the break between building PZL P.24B and LWS-6 "Żubr" and renovation at home, I threw on the workshop such a quick project almost straight out of the box. Model S.M.79-II "Sparviero" in 1:48 from Trupeter and from the extras are: -YAHU MODELS - YMA4840 Instrument panel -MONTEX - Maxi mask MM 48026 -PART S48-121 exterior -EDUARD Seatbelts Italy The model has been known for years so only these photos to start with go. By the way this will be such a tease to paint the Italian camouflage while waiting for the call from the shop that my S.M.79 "Sparviero" model from EDUARD in 48 is now available for collection. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 That IP and cockpit looks great, the seatbelts though would make me go cross eyed. Cheers Dennis 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kriss Posted February 11 Author Share Posted February 11 With a small interlude the work continues, preparation for painting. But with this interlude I will boast because such an interlude is a challenge and a very big one. I had to postpone everything for the express construction of the Polish aircraft TS-11 "Iskra" in 1:72 as a birthday present for the pilot who made his first flight on it. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kriss Posted February 16 Author Share Posted February 16 Undercarriage flaps replaced with new sheet metal. Still a torpedo and it will be possible to start playing with the camouflage. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriss Posted February 17 Author Share Posted February 17 A bit of fun and the torpedo including the mount is almost ready, one will be suspended and the other on a trolley. This is my plan. And here I have a small problem, namely how to paint the torpedo? I'm asking because I have several different versions and I don't know which is the correct one. And the next problem is does anyone have drawings of the transport trolley for the torpedo? I would be extremely grateful. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I would say natural metal, hope these can help somehow. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
