A month ago, Ivica Aranza, great man and kitmaker died with the airbrush in his hand .That dear man always short of money .his masterpieces worked from cheap and short run kits . For this reason, I will try to work this Smer .
It looks a little rough

Dani,
I'm looking forward to seeing you turn a sows ear to silk purse.I love it when a modeler takes an old kit like this Smer Ansaldo of yours and works it into a Masterpiece.

Sorry to hear about your friend. These kits have potential, at least the airfoil section is extremely thin on this one. No sanding away unwanted thickness.
Good luck,

Dani,
Here's a link you will find of interest build your Smer Ansaldo. The project depicted in the link is by Davide Splendore who has quite talent the for reworking old kits into Masterpieces. Sorry I forgot to mention the loss of your friend before.No doubt you'll have a finished project you both will be proud of.I'd enjoy seeing his work is there a link to it?

Hi Dani:
This is going to be interesting to see you build this thing. I went to the website that Greg referenced and it really turned out neat. Sorry to read about your friends passing, but apparently he died doing something he loved.
Take care
Mark

Thanks friends for support and link.A some interesting solutions there.
I have worked on the cockpit and drilled holes for the exhaust
Interestingly solved connection between the wings and fuselage on kit , solid but wrong. fuselage is simply the wrong shape. It had to be cut
Different wing shape
When is saw already in hand way not to cuting

Hard to tell without a scale reference however they look suspiciously like a set of floats for one of the floatplane versions. I have three photos that show two differant styles of floats.
Great job...looking forward to more!

Hi Dani, very interesting build you've got going here – the interior looks superb, and the home made pontoons really turned out well!
Looking forward to the continuation
Best Regards
Mikael

otvor za zrak = louver (American English) or louvre (British English)
I'm looking forward to seeing your completed build, it's looking very nice now!
