Hi Gents....
Well since a new year has started, I desided to start and old Italian coastal patrol hydro....the Cant Z-501. Its very small, only 8" wingspan....
Notice I made transparent cabin and bubbles which will have their framework done in paper.
Hope to finish in one or two weeks...............
Finished a Breda-25...........a similiar Italian Trainer of the 30´s to the US PT-17..........
Some steps:..............
Gerar, it is excellent work I can see you use the same idea to make some of parts for your aircrafts ( the pic with Breda-25 engine.)It is a very good way to obtain some details shortly.What kind of material do you ust to make them?
I use two conponent epoxy glue "PXIPOL" or "DRAGON" epoxy mass.
Wurger......I find that the best material is "Plaster of Paris" mixed with white glue and water. Easy to make, and very easy to file and sand to final shape.
Yes, great job. Any chance one day you will do a Mitsubishi G4M Betty? It is largely a forgotten aircraft of WW2 as far as modelling goes. At least here it is...

Thank you........I do have good plans of the "Betty", Yamamoto´s coffin....That should be an easy one with the "round" fuselage.
I really love your SM85 Gerar. That bird had a very modern design for its time.
And thanks for the tips. Definitely scratch building is the way to learn the best modelling techniques.
Gerar I am brand new here...first post in fact and I am totally impressed. Can you possibly tell me where you get the great plans? Especially ones you can trace formers from. I use to build both balsa and hardwood solid static models when i was a kid in the late 40s into the 50s. The nostalgic feelings I get looking at your models is mind bending.
Yes, please post some of your sources as I am curious and collect the plans of the aircraft when I can get them. Very good job. Soon you might have a whole world of aircraft displayed.
