Fiat CR.42 Falco

Ulf Petersen The camo is phantastic, Vladimir.

Bart Goesaert Nice one, must have been a lesson in patience to apply this camo...

Andor Tóth Like!

Pierre-Christian Baudru Great job !

Lee Fogel This turned out very nice!

Mark Superb

Guy Rump Excellent camo, how did you put it together? any hints will be gratefully accepted!

Vladimir Kafka thanks,
if you mean hints regarding the struts...I don't think I have any really, the fit was horrible. Be patient, curse a lot to let off steam, and use this particular camo option, as the black color on struts and underwing hides a lot.

Mark Looks great

Dave Morris Please visit the album for comments, updates & pictures for this project.

Dirk Broer Reprinted at least once, in 1998
Pros: Bilingual, good color art, good scale plans in two scales, 1:72 and 1:48, one detail drawing even in 1:24, small modeller's section, good detail section.

Cons: no information about the differences between the sub variants (night fighter, fighter bomber, night harassment, trainer, Africanised version)

NOTE: It is also available in a Polish translation, Wydawnictwo Militaria no.55, ©1997. ISBN 83-86209-000-3

Roberto Rocat Amazing work on such an old and not so good kit! Thnaks for sharing it

Pierre-Christian Baudru Thanks guys !

Peter Jenssen The struts are on. Fit is not great..
Is going to need putty and a paint touch-up.

Peter Jenssen This one has been done for a while now.
Finally gotten around to taking a few pictures..
A nice little kit.
I like the touch of including a walk-around booklet.
In general good finish and detail, but there are exceptions. Tooling quality is a bit uneven in this kit.
Things to watch out for;
Fit of wing struts
Fit of wing roots.
Fit of cockpit interior (actually, there is no way it can fit in the fuselage without cutting bits off..)

Gabor Szabo Hi! Sorry for the late reply. Really great work here! Grat! Yes, I experienced some issues with the fit of the cockpit but as I used some eduart PE I guessed it's not the kit fault - not too bad anyway. As on an Italeri kit the fit is always a bit loosy (italian way I guess - I have some Alfas so I know about it some stories).

Gabor Szabo I use airbrushes for more than 20 years (oh god!) now. My first one was a syphon type Kager 2000 (very similar to Badger suction type stuff) but I coudn't mastered it really. The next was a gravity feed type one (Kager 1201 and later an 1801) and till that I use only similar types. I have good experience with the Iwata Neo (cheap Iwata ) CN airbrush I currently use for general purposes. The new type "environment and modeller's health friendly" paints are somehow thicker than those good old smelly and harmful ones (I still have some bottles so I find this gravity type brush with a quite large nozzle (0,35mm!) very useful. I have an old DevillBiss with 0,18mm nozzle and that poor thing has no any chance to keep up with Vallejos or any other new type acrilics. I can tell that Your "smoke rings" are great!

Wim van der Luijt The final result is stunning, love the smoke ring camo!

Kerber Nice camouflage! And nice airplane too!

Clifford Keesler Great job!

Korhan Ozalpagut Great!

Holger Kranich Great camo! Lovely build, i like it!And to be honest, its the first time, i commend a italian aircraft! ;D

Kevin Foureman I really love the Italian planes. They are among my specialties. Nice job.

Es-haq Khosravi Great job!

Ken Kolenovsky Nice job on the camo! I see from your pics that you put a lot of work into building the CR 42...alignment tabs inside, push rods, etc. Two thumbs up!

Fab Fantin thanks a lot to all of you for your support, yes these classic airframes short run kits asking a lots of work and patience but it always worth it

Hunter Cummins Hey your on youtube?? Whats your channel

Fab Fantin Hi Hunter yes i'm on youtube my channel is "vercorsman"

Holger Kranich Very nice camo, done freehand?

Thomas Kristandt Yes, its freehand. My first plane with this camo...

Aghis Barberopoulos Very good job, I especially like the black&white photos.

Wim van der Luijt Excellent painting on an elegant biplane

Steve Wilson Great job Thomas

Philip De Keyser Give the pilotseat some alclad and now started with the foto etched parts, this takes time, greetz Phil

Philip De Keyser Almost finished the pit from my little Fiat, greetz Phil

stefan natus Pit looks great,cant wait to see how you gonna tackle the wiring.

Holger Kranich Hey Phil, the pit looks great! The pe´s are worth their money!

Zimmermaniac great looking pit. Do ya know by any chance if there is a difference between Italeri and Tamiya's kit ?? or is it the same tooling ??

Philip De Keyser I think it's the same tooling that tamiya used, the only difference by these two is the plastick they used, greetz Phil

Zimmermaniac and the price I guess...

Philip De Keyser Oh yes the price indeed
