Bell AH-1S Cobra (Hobby Boss 1/72)

Another funny kit too build.
Good details considering the scale but terrible decals. They just felt to pieces at the contact with water...
This was my first attempt to highlight the panel lines.

Agusta A129 Mangusta - "Esercito Italiano" (Italeri 1/72)


I have really enjoy to build this little kit.
Italeri kits are always a surprise, or relly good or really bad. In this case the first option.
I used Vallejo paints for this build and the Tamiya Weathering sets.
Nice details, good fit, good decals...fun!

















Agusta-Bell AB 205 - "Arma dei Carabinieri" (Italeri 1/48)

My first model kit ever build and attempt of a diorama/vignette.
I remember this helicopter flying everyday over my village when I was a kid. Thanks to her I have fall in love with those strange and noisy machines.
The figures and the accessories are from the Hasegawa 1:48 US Ground Crew Set A.
For the base I have painted the landing area on a one pound photo frame and added some Joefix Studio's grass on a corner.
I have used Tamiya acrylics, at the time a bit difficult for me to use, I couldn't get the right ratio paint/thinner.
This was first attempt spraying paint with an airbrush. You can see the thick coat on the fuselage as result.
I was so happy when I called it done and keep a special place in my heart.
