Yes Robert, I know that.    n~

Still would like to see the nose with the spinner off.

You can tell a great deal from a photo.

BTW. Clever how you masked the green on the rudder. Small details is what makes a model come alive.

They all look good from 25', It's up close that matters.

Robert, attaching your control surfaces after everything is painted, could you please run your method by again?

Thanks,

Charles

The control surface's just slide on and off they are no glued on. No magic there. Look back in the build thread I am sure its there with the spinner off.

Looks like a fasces, symbol of the Fascists, a disagreeable sort who were big in Italy at the time. 

 Thanks Howard and Matt, interesting stuff. H^^

Theyre ' Stormo ' markings . ! ( Squadron , to you & me . )
Nope, Fascist period Italian Royal Air Force (Regia Aeronautica Italiana)  national insignia.
They used a less elaborate one on the wings.

I take it Sparky is not as ham fisted as some of us.   Plane is looking great.

Superb finish, Sparky...I expected nothing less. (but, I remember the Spit!)

Nitrate or Butyrate dope? Read it thru twice, couldn't find it.

I added the first 3 numerals of your AMA#, and got a grand total of 666. Was there a 'deal' made for these beautiful airplanes?
