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.

Such an oddball from iL Duce's air force, nice to see it built

Great looking subject, one of the best torpedo aircraft of WW2, and that wonderful Italian camouflage, I will be keeping an eye on this one.

Cheers

looking Good Kriss should throw it into the Twin Engine GB?

[Spitfire]

That IP and cockpit looks great, the seatbelts though would make me go cross eyed.

Cheers

Beautiful detail work. 

[PanzerWomble]

Tis shaping up well . 

[Kriss]

So undercarriage shin together with tailwheel corrected, but still almost all of it will be out of sight.

[Kriss]

Work continues, the sheet metal is assembled and the interior is ready.

[Martinnfb]

Clean work. 

[Kriss]

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.

[Kriss]

Playing with tinsel goes all the way.

[KevinM]

That is small Kriss!!

[Martinnfb]

Fantastic detail. 
 

[Kriss]

The arming of tinsel continues.

[Kriss]

Undercarriage flaps replaced with new sheet metal. Still a torpedo and it will be possible to start playing with the camouflage.

[Kriss]

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.

[Martinnfb]

I would say natural metal, hope these can help somehow.

Trolley in 1/48 available here
