Very nice Joaquim

Just picked up 2 of the Fiat's myself at WMMS. Good job I had room in the box on the way home as the last text from swmbo was 'Bring home some milk...and no more planes'

Hadn't seen this before but great job on those planes. I flying against Spitfires from Malta.

[Blackronin]

Thanks, my friends.

Seems that no one opened a thread for the Falcos before.

So here is a Fiat Cr.42 Falco repaint.

Thank you, Dave.

Did you search the index under Fiat ?! ;)

Here are my repainted Hungarian Falcos in rather generic 1941 Eastern Front scheme. Tail chevrons are purpously overpainted with yellow as can be seen on some profiles and suit my taste;).I will use them to fight my I-16s and Nexus Yaks -1:).

Beautiful planes Andy!
How long to paint the green and brown spots on one plane ?

Fiat Cr.42 CN Falco. Pilot Capt. Giorgio Graffer from the 365a Squadriglia. Scored his first victory vs. a Blenheim bomber during a night bombing raid vs. an Italian city. Later on scored more victories, but was shot down in Albania right after he became an ace.

Original Nexus Games plane card.

Makes a change to see another Fiat pop up.
Thanks for posting Fabrizio.

Rob.

[Hu Rhu]

Very nice indeed.

[Flying Helmut]

Pretty Fiat! :clap:

[mikeemagnus]

Really nice Fabrizio. Impressive paint job and decals. Can you, please, tell me how you make the white "15" and other white decals. Have to admit I struggle with those.

[hokusai]

Thank you for you comments and REPs gentlemen.


Can you, please, tell me how you make the white "15" and other white decals. Have to admit I struggle with those.

Of course it's a compromise as I dont own a printer that prints white. If you look carefully you see the dirty trick. White 15 and dark green printed on white decal sheet, then retouched with microsol and green/brown. Reasonnable from playing distance, not so much when photographed with a macro.
The white cross is simpy cut out of white decal sheet. The round emblem near the white cross is printed on transparent sheet then applied over a white roundel of the same size.

[mikeemagnus]

OK Thanks for that one Fabrizio. Yep, I did try something similar to the colour printing around the white of white decal sheet. Unfortunately, my colour printing wasn't that accurate though - must do better next time ;)
