For Ural:

I like to taste your foods and wines some day!! may a dinner for at least 30 of us?

Very good work in Boston, what colours did you use? I like the green so much!

30?
I know a place near Rome, a beautiful place, where we can organize a great Barbecue.....and the wine would not be a problem!

The Green it's Maimeri "Verde Smeraldo", "Emerald Green".

I began to prepare the colors by myself, using "Maimeri" acrylics paints

They are inexpensive and are worth well than the classics!
But they are laborious to prepare.
After many trials and test, for airbrush use, I suggest this formula;
In an old Tamya colour can -
50% colour, 30% white alcohol, 20 % demineralized water, 2 drops of dishwashing liquid.
It is best to filter the color obtained before using it, and give more light coats.


Macchi M16 Esoteric.
Funny.
Of course, the photos are great twenty times the model ........ the fuselage is 5 cm long!
Putty on the fuselage as required.



The instrument panel is fictional.
I imagined a small gauge for the oil on the right. at the center a big classic compass, an inclinometer on the bottom and on right, magnets switches and the fuel hand pump for the startup.
The standard at his time (1919, with the luxury of the compass).



The belly.



Nose



Two words about the nose:
Commendable initiative to do it in white metal, with the three, Anzani enigine, cylinders, but I would have done without it.
The cylinders printed with the nose are horrible and have been eliminated.
I'll just make them far better.
In addition, the piece doesn't fit and is considerably oversized.
We will be sanding and putty.
The size tiny size, in this case, help.

Fun indeed!


Airfix Aussie Boston:

Lovely little Boston!

[Ural]

Near Rome! very interesting place I can imagine, well we need to start asking forum members who wanna come!

Sad I can´t find Maimeri around! I really like the colours you obtain!

Very good work on Boston, I like the weathering a lot!

[giulio_gobbi]

The Macchi it's.......a bit lively!



The nose is perhaps a little too much heavier than the rest, I hope to add some weight in the floating is enough ......

The Aussie Boston it's on his leg, and with the natural light looks much better.





Regards, thanks to all for comment and viewing and haooy modelling.

Your Boston is quite tasty but not as much as your meals. Yum Yum.

[giulio_gobbi]

It is never too late to ruin everything : the tranparent are awful!



I am satisfied with the exhaust.



Tonight I forget all at "Castelnuovo di Porto Country fayre", near Rome, with my girl-friend.
Good wine, dumplings, grilled meat ( sausages , steaks , etc etc) , grilled vegetables, pancakes, nooks , "vin santo" , live music ....



Regards.
