I had exactly the same thought Ian

Just finished, and grabbed a couple of quick pics.
I think the Helldiver suits the Italian scheme quite well.
Will probably add some exhaust stains, oily marks, and a flat coat, in a couple of days.

Off to bed now, been a very lo-o-o-ong weekend - will probably sleep until noon - LOL

Currently on bench: ICM 1/72 Tupolev Tu-2

Well done, Carlos. And she looks the business. That scheme suits it very nicely!

I'm a mostly full-time modeller put a part-time poster....

That looks great, the lines of the Helldiver really lend themselves that desert scheme.
