My first Italian bird. They are really beautiful airplanes - like everything Italian (including my wife :giggles: )
Looking at scalemates this was originally a Hasegawa kit. Fantastic model that went together really well.

I botched a bit at the end but overall super fun kit

Very nice build, I like the oily and dirty underside!

Excellent finish. How did you do the smoke ring camouflage?

What a sharp looking build! What paints did you use for the camo colors?

Thanks all. The paints are MRP. They make the specific Italian colors - Nocciola on top and Grigio Azzurro on bottom. The interior and wheel wells are a duck egg green as I couldn't find exactly what Italian interior colors were.

Now for the confession.... the smoke rings are no less than 100+ decals

Great looking Veltro, John! I think the Italian fighters look really nice too. I've got the 1/32 Italeri Folgore in the queue and I hope Italeri follows up with a Veltro.
