Well here we are, a couple of simple little builds to ease myself back into the swing of things. By this time next week they may even be built. Not necessarily painted, but built. :whistle

Just tried to upload onto Photobucket, no luck as yet. But watch this space.

Right chaps, in between job hunting and writing I have assembled the basic spit shape, and have moved onto the Folgore (thunderbolt). As an aside from this I'm so tempted to write a little article about these aircraft as they appeal to my artists eye. So please believe me when I say I'm all over this like a cheap suit...

Italeri have created the perfect monster in the form of the Folgore!! In the words of Jason Nesbit, "Never give up, Never surrender". I bet he never made a model like this...

Italeri have been known for the odd frankenkit..., but carry on. Fight it on the beaches and all that.... :grin:

Why is it every time I plan to undercoat the weather cools and gets damp? Hmm. I have a back up plan though. Watch this space.
