Filipe Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Hi Guys Here´s the latest one to enter the bench! Revell 1/72 Fiat G.91 R3 Tiger Meet Nr5452. Its been years since I wanted to do this aircraft. I´ve seen it live as a kid, on an airshow, and it really impressed me! The model is from revell and so are the decals. My boxing is not the tiger meet one but thought a friend I menage to get the decals. Thanks Carlos. I´m going to do it OOB with the canopy will be closed, so I didn't pat that much attention to cockpit detail, I only added some thing to the seat. I have also corrected the wing pylons. Now I´m going to keep at it with more putty and sanding, unfortunately it is not the best of kits but at the same time not the worst. The Italeri Intruder, I have also on the bench, requires much more work. Lets see how it turns out! To be continued! Hope you enjoy Feel free to comment!

Filipe Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 Hi Guys Here´s a another small update on the Fiat. Painting under way, finally! Time for some touch-ups, and a gloss coat o varnish.

SERNAK Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) Nice work so far! Yet, if you want to loose those paint-marks (visible in the above pictures and on the edges of the yellow color) made by the masking tape you can do this by taking a wet 2000 degree sandpaper and gently rub them off. Good luck with the rest of your build! Sernak Edited August 6, 2013 by SERNAK Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Filipe Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 Hi Guys Thank you Pacheco and Sernak I´m going to sand/rub them down a little bit before touching up a couple of things and apply the gloss varnish. Thanks for the interest and the tip. Best regards Filipe Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Joel_W Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Filipe, You're a way braver man than I. 1st of all, congratulations on taking on such a complex paint scheme. I would have come up with a million and one excuses not to do it. Number one on my list would have been that I would have screwed it up for sure. So far you're doing a masterful job on that complex paint scheme. I noticed the raised paint lines after you removed the masking tape like others did, but knocked them down with light sanding. Looks so much better now. The Tiger's mouth is coming out great. Can't wait for your next update. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ian Cooper Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Nice work and a good choice of aircraft. I do like the G91. I remember seeing a Portuguese G91 at an airshow in the 1980s. Look forward to seeing this finished! Cheers Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Filipe Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 Hi Guys Thanks for the support Joel and Ian. Still a long way to go! Here´s another update on this build, started the stripes on the rudder and I´m at 90% done on the nose, Needs a little clean up! I have also painted the black parts to finish the mouth and the black stripes in this part of the aircraft. The rudder will get the same treatment, finish up and correct the stripes with black paint.
