I just finished the Revell kit of the Fiat CR42, the plane with the most complicated interplane strut arrangement that I have ever seen! I think that it turned out pretty well, I know that my desert Italians will appreciate the air support!  This is an excellent model with a very clever design to keep the fussing with the struts to a minimum.   https://antonswargame.blogspot.com/2020/12/back-to-spats-building-fiat-cr-42-falco.html (https://antonswargame.blogspot.com/2020/12/back-to-spats-building-fiat-cr-42-falco.html)

Lovely model of an excellent kite. There's one in the RAF Museum at Hendon, which crash landed during the Battle of Britain due to a broken oil pipe. Up till that moment it had been running rings round three Raff Hurricanes!
