One of my favourite of the Italian fighters. And what looks like an amazing kit.
Started like usual on the cockpit, painted it up and tried to make some seatbelts and cushions for the seat.

Cockpit and all the inside bits painted up - some wiring and extra details added on.

The wheel bays aren't enclosed and references showed a lot more going on in there so I added in some wiring and details.

So my favourite method - black basing and mottling - used a bit of yellow in the mottling for a bit more variety.

Base colour and white band going on - now you can see all 3 colours.
I forgot to mask the white cross on the tail so did that after and sprayed it on - was worried that the decal would be a bit transparant and the white on the tail wouldnt match the band.
I used a paint pen with olive green to make the smoke rings, it worked pretty well was very happy with the result.
Excellent entry and ditto progress, my friend @anthonyricco!
Nice entry, Anthony @anthonyricco What a great progress you made already, all looking perfect. Nice way to create those smoke rings.
And next up is decal time. Not too many on here and the decal quality was decent.
Decals look great on, my friend @anthonyricco!
Looks really nice with the decals on, Anthony @anthonyricco
Good to see it with decals on - getting closer ti the display cabinet.
