With this batch of aircraft complete the end of this particular aircraft painting project is in sight. All are 1/600th scale from Tumbling Dice.
6 Italian SM.79 "Sparviero" medium bomber completes the Italian aircraft for Op Nostalgia. They will be used as torpedo bombers in the campaign.

A squadron of 12 x ME110 long range fighters completes the German fighter contingent.
A squadron of 12 x P38 Lightnings completes the US inventory.
Alongside the aircraft, 3 Italian Gabbiano class Corvettes are being painted in 1/3000th scale. It would have been good to have played the next naval battle in 1/1200th scale given the small size of battle but I unfortunately only possess 2 of the 3 Corvettes required.
Sand and spaghetti in 1/600th! I take my hat off to you, Sir!
ReplyDeleteLol. Thanks Jim
DeleteGreat result, Jon!
ReplyDeleteI have a big box of 1/300th Italian aircraft and they don't look half as crisp and colourful as yours. I love the P-38's and Bf110's too - great work.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind comments Jim. I was tempted to go down the 1/300th route but space and painting time swayed me towards 1/600. I am pleased with the quality of Tumbling Dice aircraft.
DeleteThey are very attractive, Jon. That's a heck of a lot of aircraft you have painted in the past few months!
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter. Yep, I am getting to the point where I have seen enough wings, canopies and small fiddly transfers for now! It has made a nice change though.
