SHORT STIRLING MK I...ITALERI 1/72
The Italeri model captures the shapes of the plane well..pity thats as for the Sunderland model the paneling lines are exaggerated in width and depth,more suitable for 1/24 scale ,model that endorses scale 1/72 .
What forced me to do an additional job of reducing and re- engraving the entire paneling.
Too Bad ITALERI,a missed opportunity

Lost of words...

Stunning detail, must have taken you a fair number of hours to sort out. Nice to see an often overlooked aircraft built with some effort.

Not a missed opportunity by you Valter, this is the most “unbuttoned” Sterling I’ve seen

Wow!

Eye popping detail! Great job. I really, really like the wet tarmac effect being used as a mirror...nice artistic touch.

Well done, Walter! That’s a tremendous amount of detail that you added.

Amazing detailing. Very nice.

Oh my @zagorten27! That is amazing work Valter! My flabber has been gasted and my gob's been smacked by that incredible detailing. It's just wonderful work on a 1/72 scale model; well, on any scale actually! My hat's off to you! 🙂

Very impressive work. How many hours were put into this model?
Valter vaudagna said on June 25, 2021
Practically..6 months divided into 2 year.
Of continuos work of 8 is more hours a day

Wow! At a contest, that's what you call a crowd-magnet.
Tom Cleaver said on June 25, 2021
This model departs from craft into full-on art. Amazing work.

Too bad Italeri !
Wonderful Walter - a superb build - and great to see a Sterling as the subject!
Greg Kittinger said on June 25, 2021
Holy mackerel! That's a real beaut! I recently got rid of all my larger 1/72 aircraft (like all the heavies), and the Stirling is the one kit I wish I'd kept - I've always been intrigued by its lines. I had the old Airfix kit. You really put some detail and weathering work into this to make it a show-stopper.

Great modeling! Well done!

A "Slam Dunk" or "Model of the Month" followed by the "Peoples Choice award" or just plain "Gold" for adjectives.
Hitting " I like this" and Two thumbs up Valter.

Astonishing. Congratulations.
Eric Berg said on June 26, 2021
Totally magnificent!
Walt B said on June 28, 2021
Well I just had to continue and pile on the heaps of praise for a true masterpiece! It really is a stunning piece of modeling work, and really belongs in a museum. Your kit demonstrates what the aircraft looks like, plus with all the open panels and give a real indication of the workings of the aircraft. Really a beautiful job!

I'll echo all the comments above - a masterful piece of building and painting!
