Military Aviazione Legionaria (Italian Legionary Air Force 1936-1939)
Sqn. a. Aut. Mitragliamento Frecce 3-6 (Capitano Ferruccio Vosilla)
Spanish Civil War, Munesia Spain, April 1938
A nicely detailed kit, with good fit overall. The main problem is in attaching the top wing which has very vague locating points. I managed to weld mine together with lots of super glue. The decals from Cartograph are very nice and behave well but the white and yellow are allowing the paint from the camo to show through quite a lot so that is a shame.

Nice build Jason, one of my favorite aircraft. I thought I heard that there would be a new release of this aircraft in 1/72, but I cant remember where I heard it.

Champy,
Superb effort of an excellent subject. I am planning to paint up my Bristol Bulldog for the Republican air forces.
