That is a great looking camouflage! I have seen that A/C done once before at a contest. Very unique. I plan on doing that one day on one in 1/72. I noticed that the white circles of the national insignia on the tops and bottoms of the model A/C were not the same size. Is that because the one set was painted on before delivery?

A great build and paint job. I look forward to future postings. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Kubrt,
It is, without a doubt, the best camo I have ever seen!
Very clean lines and mottle.
Great Job!
Vincent.

Final camo is little bit boring, I know

My customer wants this camouflage...

Incredible finish - magnificent ! Camo is not at all boring!

Well done but! If I remember well FA-1 was one of the first serie of the Freccia delivered to the Ilmavoimat, and assigned to the 3/LLv26. As such the rudder is of the early type , without compensation. A good picture of the plane is on page 51 on the LeR2 book from Kari Stenman.
Best regards, Jean.

Jukub,

A beautifully built model with clinical paintwork. I don't know how you can paint so cleanly! Usually when I am airbrushing, the cat only has to pass within about a metre of the model and its fur jumps off and gunges everything up. What a shame your commission did not want the original mottled finish. I would really have liked to have seen your rendition of that scheme.

Regards,

Aeroal.

I too would prefer an R.A. camo scheme, but no one can deny the fact that this is one beautifully built model!

Yes, exactly like that. Now that's Italian!
