1/32 PCM Fiat G.55 Centauro - another Ugo Drago's plane

Post by s00ntir » Mon Mar 27, 2023 11:44 am

Two days ago I started my new project - Fiat G.55 in experimental livery. Very nice kit - goes together pretty fast :-) I started with careful fitting of exhaust stacks and glueing fuselage halves together. Then I opened all those smal air intakes with a tip of my scalpel. Next I started to work on beautiful resin cocpit. I've decided to use yellow green colour for the interior.

Today I finished cocpit interior and started my work on maze of plumbing, rods and tubes :-) Still need to add some more!

I took a while - but finally it comes to the end. Riveted, cleaned - just some final touches - and onto the airbrushing.

Thank you - although it's not finished yet ;-) This kit requires a lot of part fitting before applying glue. But I really hate to use putty - only to correct some small scratches. In next few days I shall start making camo. Let the stress begin!

Some progress - at last. You know that feeling you think everything is ready for airbrushing and then - you find some small scratches, imperfections.... and next ones and then another ones.... ;-)

I'm quite satisfied with riveting effect - seems to be subtle.
