Ok, i had this one in the stash for some decades now... 😁 Not the best of kits i know... But i just wanted to build a simple wingy fast. I am not in mood to primer the autoblinda so i started building something.   Not great detail, the cockpit is empty, on the other hand absolutely noting would be visible due to its layout. At least it goes together well, especially if you think how old it is.  It will be a good canvas i think for a deteriorated winter camo. |

You are now back in your element John  . This is a beautiful aircraft and one, as you know, I am patiently waiting for to be released  . Judging by the wings, fit wisse it doesn't look bad at all  |

Well the cockpit as i said is empty but you get only a closed canopy on an extremely small office. I only added some tape to resemble seatbelts. Now time for a lot of putty and sanding. As i said i only see it as a quick build and a canvas for a winter camo.    |

The -129; a flying pillbox! Nice start with the kit, John. Looking forward to a nice, ragged winter paint scheme.

You did a fine job taming that kit. Those Super-Model kits are tough to wrestle with but you did an excellent job with the build and paint job.

I don't know what's not to like? You glued it together nicely and the paint sits beautiful colourwise. Keep going John, you're on a roll, remain confident brotha

Thx a lot ppl. I prefer to build older kits, although i don't invest a lot of work on them, from just leaving them aside. Well this is it. Didn't really abuse it. I decided to more or less leave it as it is and move on to the next kit.     |

Hot damn John  This is an excellent example of what can be done with an OOB build, of an older kit  |
