SM81 Italian bomber for Abyssinia
« on: June 28, 2010, 08:46:25 PM »
Following building an IMAM Ro37bis scout plane for my Ethiopian wargames set-up last year, I have added a SM81 bomber to the collection.  Pictures are here, should you be interested!

Most excellent. That "Ice Cream Van" paint scheme is just lovely.

That's gorgeous. I was tempted to buy one of those not long ago, that little photo essay might just be the tipping point.

Not my thing at all - but credit due where credit earned.

Beautiful.  :-*

Lovely work James on the SM81.

Are the stripes on the wings decals?

Cheers,

Helen

Truly a fine work of art !

Who makes the kit, and in what scale, please ??

(Edit:  OOf, just found this in the writeup - - "The plane itself is a 1/72 Italeri model" )

Thanks Helen!  The stripes are done with masking tape and painted - the kit provides a very good plan elevation, which is fairly easy to scan and enlarge to the correct size to make a template.
