    Nice start on the paintwork, Paul @yellow10
    Are you willing to share with us how you created those smoke rings.

    Thanks gents. @johnb they are decals! In this case from Eduard. Each ring is individually laid, but sadly not a paint job. I’ll sink them under some gloss coat and add insignia. Then weather. Then flat.

    Thanks gents. Cowl on and exhausts installed. The next part could get a little ugly as reports have it that the struts are no fun!

    I'm sure you will tackle those struts perfectly with your skills.

    Wow @yellow10 - this is looking fantastic. I really love the cockpit and the engine. Looking forward to hear how those struts go.

    @yellow10 - Very cool build Paul, I've never see a camo pattern like it before.

    Looks great Paul, Italeri is hit or miss, this one is a hit, with the Falco, they have stepped up in their recent new moulds or repops. I just picked up their Macchi Mc. 200 Saetta, recently for the Italian GB, will get to it soon. I painted the smoke rings on a Veltro a few years ago, it was quite tedious. The decal smoke rings look tight, well done.
