Here is a Trumpeter kit I picked up that I thought I would share with yall. Its the Savoia-Marchetti S.M.79-II Sparviero in 1/48th scale. Its not finished but the camo turned out nicer than I thought it would. I will post the finished pics when she done.

Thanks for looking.

Excellent. Now that you’ve inspired all of us, tell us a little about your technique. Did you use masks, or is that all freehand?

Thanks yall for the very kind replies.

duckman------------> The colors are Italian Sand for the base and Italian Olive Green and Burnt Sienna for the camo colors. All Model Master Enamels.

ModelNerd----------->Well its all free hand but I use a Badger duel action airbrush with a hole in the air hose to bring the air pressure way down. The Badger is fitted with a fine point tip as well, not to mention the above mentioned paint gave me No Problems for once.

Heres a picture comparing it to the instructions…I tryed to follow it and finally just started doing what I thought looked cool. Thanks for all the interest guys.
