Some recently completed Fiat CR.42s. Kits are metal with photo-etched struts. The models had ten parts: lower wing-fuselage-tail assembly, two landing gears, two bombs, propeller, upper wing, and three photo-etched strut assemblies. They were more than I wanted to deal with as far as 1/285 scale minis go, but actually weren't too bad. Kevin

Excellent work, especially considering how tiny these models are.

Wow, those are really beautiful. I imagine they were as fiddly as hell!

Fantastic paint job!

They look great, but I wouldn't want a ten part kit either.

Very detailed and intricate camo, Kevin! A beautiful sextet indeed :)

I have four of these painted, and agree that they do take a while (a couple of days, for me). But the brass parts make for a very sturdy wing construction. The top wing is strong as hell!

Which color or mix did you use for the base Giallo Mimètico?

Thanks all for the kind remarks.

Rolando, the base top color is Vallejo Model Color 70819 Arena Iraqui. Kevin
