i've ben on a bit of a modelling slump recently, but i've got the bit between my teeth again and have finished a kit-HURRAH!
its a C.R.32 in 1/72 by a firm called supermodel. i tweaked this kit a little, including a pilot figure from the spares box to hide a lack of detail in the cockpit, i replaced the kits tailwheel which was basicly a flat disk moulded onto the cover with a more 3-d wheel, again from the spares box, the wing gun barrels were replaced by another raid on the spares box! paints are white ensign models enamels, rigging is fishing line with control horns added from a Part of poland set

Nice looking model Phil. Love the camo, very bright and different.
Are you still in your brightly coloured aircraft phase .

Hi Phil!

Wow! Great model! I like it...
I see you used the wing armament and painted the tip of the spinner in green. Was it mentionned that way on your instructions? anyway, it looks good.

A last we can fly together on mission over the Spanish skies but I think we don't have any enemy to chase anymore!

Hi Phil

It looks great! The freehand mottle camouflage on such a small model is very impressive.

Dohh!, it reminds me I've still got that G.50 to finish for the SCW build! Ho hummm...

All the best

jean-luc, i just checked the instructions to make sure about the spinner and thats how it they said to paint it, you had me worried for a minute there! and i blacked off the venturi tube after you pointed that out to me
rowan- get that G-50 sorted! the ones i've seen have some great camo schemes
