Breda BA 65 A80 - Aviazione Legionaria

Cristian Bordina
Surely the worse kit to which I has worked. The quality of the plastic is typical of short run kits. The cockpit is almost completely scratch built.

Stefan Schneider
I am sure you can achieve a good result! Will watch your progress with interest. The kit does not provide the version featuring the machine gun turret correct?

Martien Lourens
Very interessting subject, Cristian. You got the interior done. Looks great to me. Well done 👍👍👍 By the next short run model goes scratch building a littlebit easier. 🙂
So if this model is done, you can begin the next short-run model.

Cristian Bordina
Stefan "good is a big word" as we say in Italy. If the result will be decent I'll do jump of joy 🙂 Yes the RCR kit hasn't the turret. I have chosen the version with the glass on lower surface. It was an hard fretwork 🙂

Roberto Rocat
A really interesting subject...I'll follow your progress 👍

Bulldog Scale Models
Great Work Cristian, no pressure but your last models you really raised the bar even more high than usual so I am really looking forward to see it completed. well done.

Cristian Bordina
Thank you very much Antonio 🙂

Soeren R.
Really nice progress! Always nice to see such unusual planes 🙂

Cristian Bordina
Thanks Soeren...but from pictures seems that I paint the model with acquerello😉

Martien Lourens
Nice progress and great brushwork at this difficult camo scheme. 👍👍👍

Cristian Bordina
These are the last 2 pictures of this model. I give up!. After one month of trobles on troubles, today the decals are broken in hundred pieces, totally disintegrated. That on fuselage is the only has survived. I've searched on ebay for spare decals without succes, and I decided to raise white flag. 🙁 This kit is revealed worse than I could ever imagine.

Martien Lourens
Put the plane a couple month aside. Maybe after a couple of weeks you looks with a other few to the plane. Don't surrender to a piece of plastic!

Jens
the green is brush work?, respect for the patience 👍

Cristian Bordina
Jens all my models are handbrush....I'm old fashioned 🙂 🙂 🙂

Jens
the exercise can be seen 👍

Bart Goesaert
Model was coming along nicely... to bad to hear that you will throw in the towel... is there a possibility to obtain aftermarket decals (Tauromodels have some tauromodel.it/inglese/72519.htm, tauromodel.it/inglese/72520.htm), or to spray them on your model?

Cristian Bordina
Thank you Bart for the suggest of Tauro decals but for now I'm a little "scoglionato" (a sort of 70% disappointed and 30% angry) as we say in Italy😉 I think that I will follow the advice of Martien, I will put the plane in a box for a while, I will start another kit and one day, perhaps, I'll continue with the Breda 🙂

Christian Ristits
Interesting Scheme and of course well executed!

Bart Goesaert
I hope this one will get off the shelf of doom and into the showcase... once...

Cristian Bordina
Thanks very much mates, you cheer me up 🙂

Moreno Baruffini
Hi Cristian, did you finish the model?

Ho la stessa scatola a casa, se ti servono decals o altro te le posso mandare 😉

Cristian Bordina
Ciao Moreno, sì l'ho finito... sicuramente non è uno dei miei modelli riusciti meglio ahahah... ma è stata un'impresa terminarlo

Moreno Baruffini
...E mi hai fatto passare la voglia di inziarlo a breve 😉 Vedremo 😉

Cristian Bordina
Moreno, come scrisse il sommo poeta... guarda e passa 😄
