Stefan Ericsson (Phantom2) made a spectacular model out of Flashback''s 1/48 scale S.M. 79 Sparviero kit. Much better, he wrote a highly detailled feature about the build, with many usefull tips and tons of pictures. Enjoy!

Stefan, wonderful stuff, particularly, as I note, that this is your first feature article, the first of many I hope.
I have the original Classic Airframes kit and your article points out what can be expected and will actually bring the building of my kit forward, so thanks for that too I like the colour sceme and now I'm torn between it and the scheme I have been planning on doing
I am now going to spend 1/2 an hour going over my kit contents, again.
Thanks Stefan

Hi Mal!

I have published a review of the Flashback kit. Could you check it out and tell us what is different from the Classic Airframe boxing?
I didn't found a review on the net wich cleary showed the content of a C.A. SM 79 kit.

Hi Mal!

Thanks, it was quite fun to write and if it´s well recieved, i have some ideas for following features!

I have the original Classic Airframes kit and your article points out what can be expected and will actually bring the building of my kit forward, so thanks for that too

Well, no need to to the same mistakes as i did!
Now You´ll have to make up some of your own!

This is not a difficult kit, it only recures a LOT of patience and TLC!

Jean-Luc, thanks for promting me to do the rewiew, and helping me trough!

Greetings!
