Willy Wokka's Fudge Factory.
Re: Willy Wokka's Fudge Factory.
A new project on the bench. This time it's the SM.82 Marcupiale by Italeri.
The box came with it's own booklet with a brief history of the aircraft and lots of details as well as photos.
It also came with a poster printed on card of the aircraft and showing the different camo options in the kit.
Finally the sprues, parts count is not too big for such a large aircraft in 1:72 scale.

Interesting project! Will probably take quite a bit of shelf space when finished...
I like to carve old kits into something roughly aircraft/tank shaped...
Re: Willy Wokka's Fudge Factory.
Looking forward to the SM.82. You have a very interesting collection of aircraft subjects. Going back a bit, I really enjoyed the build pics of the Drache. A strangely good looking aircraft to me. Very fine job on it!

Re: Willy Wokka's Fudge Factory.
COOL! Another Italian tri-motor! That's a good looking project Wokka and not a type I've heard of. I have built a collection of a few Italian WWII bombers so I might have to look out for this one.

Re: Willy Wokka's Fudge Factory.
I've done the interior, it has a double floor which Italeri have reproduced but it's pointless as you can't see anything once it's buttoned up.

Re: Willy Wokka's Fudge Factory.
I do wonder why manufacturers put in details which will never be seen: do they assume that modellers are like me and build cut-away models?

Re: Willy Wokka's Fudge Factory.
That looks a good kit, and you look to be off to a good start with it. I like the addition of the information booklet too...
Best wishes

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Re: Willy Wokka's Fudge Factory.
That does indeed look like a good kit and is an interesting choice of type - I can't say that I've ever heard of the SM.82, which is not that surprising as my general knowledge of Italian types is rather woeful.

Re: Willy Wokka's Fudge Factory.
That's the fuselage and wings on, I now have something looking like an aeroplane. There's a bit of a gap between the horizontal stabilizers and the fuselage but nothing copious amounts of filler can't deal with.
It's only pain, work through it.

Some thin plastic strip before filler maybe? Nah, sod it, just dump in the filler! Looking good though Wokka, great to see another tri-motor on the go.

I guess so it can be seen in workbench threads like this LM?Lone Modeller wrote: ↑March 22nd, 2024, 8:37 pm I do wonder why manufacturers put in details which will never be seen: do they assume that modellers are like me and build cut-away models?
That does look a nice kit Wokka. I have a soft spot for Italian aircraft but for some reason have always shied away from building them.
The past, present, and future walked into a bar. It was tense.
Re: Willy Wokka's Fudge Factory.
Coming along very nicely. Gap should be no issue with filler. That being said I also like the thin plastic strip thing too. Makes a nice sturdy joint but is a bit more of a pain sanding flush. There is always the reliable CA filler too.

Re: Willy Wokka's Fudge Factory.
I have not seen this pattern before - very interesting and rather different. Glad to see that the various gaps have disappeared.
