    Trumpeter 1/48 Savoia-Marchetti SM.79-II Sparviero (Hawk)

    Hi people, so an out the box build, with just a little mod to open up the hump, otherwize a stright foreward job......but then came the camo....the model is all brush painted so took a few days to paint needless to say. Hope you like.
    ohhh and the decals were a nightmare as they would not peel from the backing, theres only 10 of them and 6 gave me trouble but all was fine in the end, I elected to have the codes on the white panel because TBH you could not see them on the camo otherwise. So not bothered that it's wrong like that.
    Found me a hot sunny airstrip














    and a little dio as to how she will be on display






    Box art that I followed(ish)

        One of the best models I have ever seen Peter, and Dave has described the detail and finish in one word-beautiful.

              Excellent paint work, I love the scheme.  Trumpeter decals are the worse and I would always get aftermarket decals with their kits.

                    So on display up in the spare room








                    Love me truck, It's die cast and I think it looks the part





                    No 1/48 Italian ground crew out there so volunteered a few Germans :LOL: 





                    To make my display a little more interesting, found myself a cart that was ideal for the torpedo

                      Top marks for even attempting that camo.

                            I'm sure I've seen/commented on this on another forum, but it's so nice it warrants another post. Fantastic work, that paintwork is superb.
