    Somehow that just doesn't seem right.

    Hmmm, maybe I'll have to up the ante and consider doing a second kit. How about a Caproni Ca.311?

    LOL Yeah she's kind of an ugly duckling at that. Haven't decided yet if I am going to do the Ca.311, a Sm 79 or possibly a Fiat G.50 (the open cockpit version).

    Another Italian would be a most welcome addition mate!

    I have been looking for an Italian bi- plane. All I have found is a couple of German ones.

    Great pic!

    I'd love to do an Italian one, but there is no way in heck I could do the camo.

    This is what I found at Hannants, I'm sure that Squadron will have some of them.... Just look at that nighfighter CR.42, doesn't it just scream "build me!"?

    We'll see how the cockpit work goes on the Hs-126 first. If it goes faster than I think, maybe I'll be able to do another kit.

    I do not know if she is ugly but you look at that green house and start pulling out the hair there bud but you sure could see some details.Cheers Kevin

    Yep, it'd be nice to have more Italian Jobs (!) in the GB. Kits in 1/48th scale are a bit thin on the ground, al;though I was considering a CR42 myself. I doubt if I'll have time for the research and build though. I had thought of doing the Mc202, in 1/32nd scale, from 21st Century Toys, but they've all disapperared from the UK shelves now.
