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. 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....

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.
