1. This Airfix Italian Fighter in 1/72
scale - no don't ask. I can't be bothered to find out exactly which
Italian WWII Fighter this is. I believe this is a Fiat but it could be
Macchi. They all look the same to me. The kit was a freebie when I
joined the Airfix Modellers club.
2. The
model is painted with a strange technique my father taught me when he made a
Me-262 for me.
3.
He took a small piece of sponge which he dipped in the paint and the padded
it over the model.
4. This
technique became a favourite and I used whenever I could. These days I would
do this with an Airbrush.
5.
I always thought the Radial engine seemed too small.
