Thanks Spiros and John. Those smoke rings can be a task.

After apply the Future glossy clear coat, I will attach the cowl/engine assy first before apply the decals.

There is an upper filler panel also to attach as well.

Next to start the decal process, starting at the bottom by applying the national markings and the with triangle ID markings.
1. Kit decals
After apply the upper wing markings, I start along the LH side of the fuselage.

Next the markings along the RH side. Love the Italian colorful schemes.

The prop has the markings applied and the airframe is flat coated.

Next de mask, weathering and start the final details to the finish.

Beautiful indeed with the decals on, Chuck @uscusn
I agree that those Italing scheme look amazing.
A bit scary to see the Saetta bing clamped inside that vise.

Thanks and wishing you and the family it is Thanksgiving here in the US, but like to extend that to you as well.
Hi John, Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family, yes the Saetta has a pop to it in it's scheme.
Happy Thanksgiving, Eric, yes the markings do give it some pop, thanks.

Thanksgiving day in the U.S. Hope everyone is having a wonderful day that are not in a warzone. The final session for the Saetta will already have the main struts and wheels installed. Next is to install the flaps, I will have these deployed down.

The main gear installed.

The retraction actuators are next to attach to each main strut.

The rear prop base is then attached to the prop shaft. then the prop is installed

Next is to attach the PE gear door extensions.

A pair of wing tip pitot probes are mounted on each wing.

An antenna short mast is place just aft of the cockpit.

The PE bits set, the outer gear doors are attached. Little fiddly here getting them on. But should not be an issue falling off.

The nose mounted gun barrels are next to slip in their ports on the upper nose.

Finally the canopt side opening panels are attached. Leaving the LH side down,

Thats I will call it "fatto"

Happy Thanksgiving
