About this Group
On 28/3 2023 it will be 100 years since the Regia Aeronautica was established as an independent force. Untill then it had been part of the army. When Italy decided to end the Kingdom and establish the Italian Republic it was renamed Aeronautica Militare on the 18/6 1946.
Depending on the number of groups established in the meantime, and not least the interest this group may create, it will end no later than 18/6 2026 when the Aeronautica Militare will be 80.
It is thought of as a WIP group, and anything connected to the force throughout these 100 years will be accepted.

Thanks so much for your kind words, my friends @johnb and @stephen-w-towle! -
Spiros @fiveten, "Those old Academy molds build up nicely." I would say that 80% of the credit goes to your efforts. It's really hard to make a monochrome model look interesting and that Italian lady of yours […] -
She turned out beautiful, Spiros @fiveten I'm sure she will draw a lot of attention at your club contest. -
After some final touches, I call her...Thanks All who followed!
-
Thanks my friends @johnb and @gblair! Hopefully to finish her in a couple of days?
-
Exhaust stains from the supercharger look good on the NMF, Spiros (@fiveten). Getting close to the end. -
Looking really good, Spiros @fiveten Just a few steps before calling it done.
-
Thanks my friend @eb801! Yes, those old Academy 1/48 molds build up nicely!
-
I just caught up with your WIP, Spiros @fiveten. Looking good. (as usual). Those old Academy P-38 molds still build up nicely don't you think? -
Final coat on, some corrections to be applied...
-
Thanks a lot, my friends @dapo68 and @johnb!
-
You are turning all this into a beautiful Italian, Spiros @fiveten
-
This Italian specimen is coming along very well
-
Thanks my friend @gblair! Yes affixing those walk lines was fun
-
Decals are coming along, Spiros (@fiveten). Those red walkway decals must have been fun to put in place.
-
Weathering finished...
-
Thanks my friend @johnb!
-
Nice result from the wash, Spiros @fiveten
-
Thanks my friends @j-healy and @gblair! Would have been nice if Academy provided a one piece canopy as well.
-
I am still amazed at how well Humbrol 11 looks, Spiros (@fiveten). I generally prefer to keep the canopy closed also. One less thing to fall off later. Multi-part canopies can be troublesome.
