Ciao ragazzi!
A delayed happy new year to all!!!
Two months ago i started working in this kit and suddenly Rick suggested me to check the fuselage sections....so using the Ali d'Italia book drawings i have found that.....

the spinner is about 1 mm too long
Image

section C (corresponding to the wing leading edge) is ok
Image

section G: the hump will need some corrections
Image

section L (midway between the hump and the tailplane) il ok
Image

all other sizes and measures seems corresponding to the drawings so the surgery starts from the tailplane:
Image

Image

for now it's all. I will post further news when i'll restart working on the model.
Bye

Cool, I'm looking forward to see more progress.
Looks like the 1/48 version of this kit is much more advanced than 1/72 edition.
Are you working on Sottoserie 0 or 1?
