I'm happy to be here again. For months I didn't write on this forum, but be sure I opened it almost every day and enjoied yous posts. I must admit I passed trought a period of indolence and, as always in spring, I went into a kind of "aestivation" (word found on the dictionary: "summer dormancy". Do you use it???). In this period I like to spend my time outdoor.
More, I choose a demanding job: to build the AZmodel 1/72 Breda 65 A80.
I always loved this oddy plane, with its squared canopy and big fuselage. The model is perfectly moulded, with a wonderful surface detail and beautiful accessory. Nevertheless it's really a short run and need a lot of parts to be added from plastic rods and plasticards. The worst, for me, was the canopy in acetate: I hate them! I often left the model for days and days on the bench witout working on it.
But now it's over and I'm really happy to have it on my shelf.
I'd like to show you it with the Bay of Naples in the background, but we had a tropical wether in the last days: almost every afternoon a sorm of 1-2 hours and/or a grey sky. Sorry (dear Serge, I envy your garden happy.gif)

This plane is a Breda 65 with FIAT A80 engine of the 159 Squadriglia, based in varius fields in North Africa in 1940, at the beginning of the war.
The camo is a non standard (non standard was -is- standard, in Italy) Giallo Mimetico 1 and Verde M. 1, with Grigio M. undersides. I used Tamya and Lifecolor paints.
I hope you like it.

To post an image of your models, you will first need to find somewhere to host your photos on the Internet. Your ISP will often give you a limited amount of free web storage, and other online photo storage is also available.

To post a link or an image, simply type in the URL (web address) of the destination page or image. The URL will appear as a link (for an HTML link) or an image (if you link direct to a .jpg file) when posted. You can use the Preview facility to see how your message looks before posting to Plastic Pix.

Please try to keep image sizes to 800 pixels wide or less, as larger sizes will be too big to fit on many computer screens. Also, file sizes should be kept to around 100kb or less, otherwise download may be very slow.
