Tail wing and nose are placed . the exhausts on the nose were so distorted that I've milled them out. So I can placed the separate exhausts.

Sucessful plastic surgery Mart, is the nose section of the kit incorrect ?

Jens
very interesting, and I'm already curious what you come to colors used 👍 👍 👍

Martien Lourens
Thanks mates. @ Hanno : This cat kit has as a basis the hull of the Fiat series 1. To make the Sotto serie 0, you have to remove the tail and nose section and used the resin parts of the kit.

I am not yet sure of the colors. Which are given as reference. Mr Color H34, H312, H406 and H317
25 November 2015, 16:54
Cristian Bordina
Mart nobody knows the exact colors. Could be Mimetic yellow one or three, could be Mimetic green one or green 53192....do what you want. In my opinion the color suggested coud be right.
25 November 2015, 17:34
Cristian Bordina
H34 correspond to giallo mimetico 1 (mimimetic yellow 1) H312 to verde 53192 (green 53192) and H406 to bruno mimetico (mimetic brown).

Thanks Cristian. The colors on the pictures are are described on:

flyinglions.eu/colori-regia-aeronautica.html

the link that you give me.
I have made the brown color new. As reference, I took Humbrol 189. The green H312 is the same green as the color of the cockpit. I thought Mr. color C 136 might be better?
25 November 2015, 18:17
Cristian Bordina
For green you could use Humbrol 119 (Mimetic green 1) if you want change the green. If you want stay on green 53192... the C136 could be good 🙂

Dankje Rob. Het is nieuw terrein wat kleuren aan gaat . Maar wel interessant en leuk om te doen. En ik krijg goed advies van mijn Italiaanse bouw maatjes. Dus, dat gaat wel goed komen.

Martien Lourens
Thank mates for the comments. And a very special thanks to Cristian Bordina for the information, history and support with the colors. 👍👍👍👍For me, a Regia Aeronautica specialist. Without his help, I was drowned in the amount of colors 🙂 And indeed. It is a extraordinarily camouflage scheme. But i like this scheme. For references for the Italian colors:

Mart, you make me blush. For a mediocre modelist as I am, it's a great pleasure can be helpful and to feel getting involved in your beautiful model 🙂
