Well Rob, thanks to you and Zoe Brain, I have managed to produce this Shapeways version of the SVA5. Lots of mistakes made and the finish isn't quite what I wanted (nowhere near the nice crisp finish of your own). But I enjoyed doing it and even used my own first attempt at decal making (rather thick they turned out, even though I tried to be careful about the varnishing spray coats and left lots of time between each) - thanks Zoe for that advice. Sorry Rob, couldn't use the decals you so kindly gave me, 'cos they were too small for this model
I did give the model three coats of 3:1 PVA:water and I did a little filing too, but I guess the drying process I got wrong as you will see a small amount of cracking where the bottom plane meets the fuselage. Also, I should have painted white under the whole of the roundels on the top plane, not just to cover the white areas. Then the gree would have shown up better. I did this for the fuselage roundels, with the cockrels, but still had to touch up the gree with paint. Didn't have the nerve to try that on the wing roundels thoughBut hey ho, its all part of the learning process. Anyway, here are the pics: Hope you like them. Cheers and thanks again for the advice - much appreciated. Mike
Nice result, Mike.
If I make closeup pictures of my planes, I always find some Little errors or not so good looking parts.
Beleive me, between all the Aviatiks and Hanriots on the table, this will be an eye catcher.
Rep salvo fired!
(Combine the self made decals with rondels from 1/144 direct.)

Cheers Sven - she's a nice model and now I have found a way to deal with the texture of Shapeways models, I feel a lot more comfortable with them. Thanks for the rep
I like the way the Green has come out Mike. gives it a weathered look.
Sorry about the decals. They were for a Reverisco model.

Why "sorry" Rob? Gives me the perfect excuse to buy one of those if they are still available!Sorry about the decals. They were for a Reverisco model.
Nice job Mike! That camo job looks great. It's OK to not be 100% satisfied (happens to me all the time), but the bottom line is you enjoyed yourself and your hobby.
F.O. Kyte - Brilliant work on your aircraft too.
One might wonder what squadron the plane belonged to, and maybe the pilot's name?

Wow, I totally missed this thread....Rep points all around. Nice work guys.
I didn't even know this plane existed until reading this thread......seems like I learn something every time I visit this site.
Great job from both of you . Rep gun jammed
And the answer to that one Mike is:- Natale Palli of 87A Squadriglia.

In Polish service against the Soviets in 1920
Very nice Zoe. You keep me thinking about post-war Eastern Europe (both historical and alt-history).

Zoe, were they effective during the Polish/Soviet war?
BTW beautiful, nicely done once again.

From wiki:
The A.1 found a new lease of life, however, when a purchasing committee from the Polish army visited Italy in 1919 in search of new weapons. A contract for ten evaluation aircraft was signed, and these were delivered to Warsaw in January 1920. The initial impression of pilots there (mostly American volunteers) was extremely favourable, on account of its high speed and fuel capacity and, curiously, the maneuverability disdained by Italian airmen. On May 25, the A.1s were deployed to the front line. All but one of them were destroyed during the Red Army counterattack in the Ukraine.
More were being delivered when hostilities ended, and the Soviets were so impressed with them they ordered their own in 1922.
History is so unlikely here that there's no way any alt-history can seem remotely plausible. Americans flying Italian planes in Polish markings vs Germans flying British planes in Soviet markings, amongst other things. Plus the involvement of Count Keller and the Knights of Malta. 3 different and mutually antagonistic Ukrainian air forces.
Thanks, Zoe!
A better straight-down, top-down image would have made this particular copy job easier, but still......

So, now, again, any info on the squadron or pilot? Probably 87a, from the lack of any images to the contrary.

Starting from this image,
I tryed to reproduce the model with Rhino.
It's my first time, and I found some difficoult expecially with the fuselage.
I know, it's really far from a good model, but I try to print it out with my 3Drag (a cheap filament 3D printer).
That is a near no hope test:
The result is poor: wings are too thin, the landing gear is not good and there are some other defects,
but I try to put it together with the glue:
I decide to use these experiments as a paint trainer and so ....
These are almost no playable, because are too delicate.
Maybe with bombers could be better.
