Nicely done! You should take some solo shots of that green and tan camo one for us!

[Womble]

Sure, I've got these two. I'll have to take some better pictures when I get a chance.

I based it on the card in flight of giants and made the cages from styrene and the insides of lighters. I may try it on the Ares ones some time as they look just right.

Those Capronis are very well done Ian.
I especially like the cage for your rear gunner and the cammo effect.

Shapeways Caproni Ca.3. Not very historical livery.

Some lovely Caproni's there chaps. Love the tri decker Ian.

The thread about these is here. (http://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/showthread.php?22823-The-Capronis-That-Never-Were) It's quite a long ramble and would take up too much room as part of this thread!

Mmmmmm, pretty!

Some nice bomber repaints Alex and Dave.

[Dieter W.]

they look amazing! good work guys!

[Willi]

Well folks, I just could not help myself. While not a repaint, this is a modification that I was compelled to do after all my work on Shapeways Be2c and Caudron G4. The Caproni looked incomplete. A few photos showed me the way to adding nacelle strut support not included. I used heated sprue extrusions and 32 gauge wire plus my very versatile Bandai 144 crewmen. Ah, now I feel better.232166232167232168232169

Here are shots of my 1st Bombardment Squadron Capronis - they'll eventually be flying over the water instead of sitting on it...;)

Hey Chris - I agree. I was looking for an Ares model for quite a while and finally decided to paint my own. It turned out OK. Plus it comes with the flight crew.

[Hu Rhu]

That's a great looking Caproni. Still haven't got one in my collection yet so may have to follow your lead and paint my own.

[milcoll73]

nice work craig!

There has been some kind of cock-up with my membership Auto-Renewal...

I no longer have my Custom Avatar :( and my Private Messages have been reduced to a maximum of 100 (despite my having more than 970!).

The Mods are looking into it.

I have restored your Gold membership manually.
Has that fixed it for you Tim?
PM Keith and see if he has got your membership renewal through O.K
