I would like to present a wip of mine that I completed some time ago on the Breda 65 two-seater version.
The idea was born after seeing a photo that immortalized the plane during its construction .... it fascinated me and I decided to get to work.
Unfortunately I have not been able to recover all the photos of the various steps but I hope that the ones I will publish go well.
This is the box art of the kit
and this is the inspiring photo
With the help of the original drawings, I rebuilt the entire frame of the fuselage
as you can see from the pictures there are some errors, the most evident concerning the increased fuel tank! This was a modification that took place in the field and did not start from the factory
Another thing I didn't like was the truss structures that came with the kit .... too flat and therefore redone with rod
To give the idea of the plane under construction, I thought of removing some of the plastic from the wings to reveal the underlying structure.
I switched to the contralateral part and did the same without doing a mirror job
as you can see i corrected the tank and putting the bomb bay
closed wings and fuselage and redone the landing gear legs
worked the dashboard
prepared ammunition box
punctured wheel rims that those in the kit are wrong
the hatches of the bomb bay have been rebuilt and will be left open
as in the initial photo there will be two engines:
- one complete and in full view
- the second kept semi-visible
I separated the naca into three sections: front hood ring and flaps
now the fiat Ar80 engines
clearly this is the more detailed one that must remain visible
I built the support always inspired by the initial photo
I then dedicated myself to the construction of the furnishings, service stairs and trestles to support the aircraft
painted everything and added flooring and walls with the inevitable 'suggestions'
overview
when I assembled the kit I had not thought that using the transparent piece for the lower window you would have seen that it was fake so here too I redid everything in scratch
now the final images of the work
Thanks to Riccardo Trotta who patiently helped me in many aspects and to modeling friends more in Italy.
Well the post is finished I hope you enjoyed it.
Hello!
