Yeeaaahhhh...I may have pushed over the top while attempting to attach it. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ Many swearings later, it's up and kinda straightish. Got a wing strut on too...(🤔 I know...)😅👍👍🍻 #italiagb #histscalemodels

A pinnable 📌 feed for all #histscalemodels GroupBuild scale modelling events Currently included hashtags: #ItaliaGB #GroupBuilds following groupbuilds will be added as well
Continuing #ItaliaGB with a modified Semovente. This will be much faster than the Alcione. #histscalemodels
The Bugatti progresses. Dashboard now fixed ( incl. glass in the instruments!) still weeks to go on this looking at the instructions but I’m not rushing this one, particularly on the weathering. I really want it to look like the ‘28 Targa Florio car #histscalemodels #italiaGB
Finished, ICM 1,35 Italian infantry figures WWI. #Histscalemodels #ItaliaGB
1/72 Cant Z.1007bis 'Alcione', version is 35th Stormo B.M., 86th Gruppo, 190th Squadriglia, Brindisi, April '41. My second entry for #ItaliaGB within #histscalemodels
Tamiya 1/24 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA. #ItaliaGB
On to my third build for #ItaliaGB. This GB has given me the perfect opportunity to build one of these. I have no desire to have Nazi Germany markings on my shelf, so a Stuka has eluded me.
#histscalemodels #scalemodels #ItaliaGB 🇮🇹 #macchi202 Some of you expressed an interest in this 32nd Mc 202 kit. I happened to see this on Amazon today (US) That's a very good price delivered🙂
Another quick mock up for Mr Cant. Slowly getting there....where? 🤔😅👍🍻 #italiagb #histscalemodels
#ItaliaGB Macchi MC.200 Saetta complete. 1/48 by Italeri. I've messed up the canopy, but "oh well". Much better quality than my only previous Italeri. Won't avoid them anymore. #histscalemodels
Alcione Day11: Verde mimetico 2 and bruno mimetico 4 is on. #ItaliaGB #histscalemodels
Alcione Day10: Giallo mimetico 3 is on. #ItaliaGB #histscalemodels
Finished my Semovente for #ItaliaGB ! putteringinthestudy.com/2026/10/04/s... #HistScaleModels
#histscalemodels #scalemodels #ItaliaGB 🇮🇹 #macchi202 Close to zipping up the fuselage!🙂 Everything used so far is provided in the kit. Researching M.202 it became apparent engine & cockpit pics are scarce. Mostly because only 2 examples exhist today. NASM & Italy AF museum. Both hung from ceilings.
Happy Sunday all. The Ducati Panigale is coming along, bit by bit. Wheels and forks are done and now it's time for the rest. #histscalemodels #ItaliaGB
Both banks wired up! That was NOT easy and I did mess up the distributors a little but I think the overall effect is worth it. Thinking about doing some fabrication to add some of the fuel and oil lines next #histscalemodels #italiaGB #lamborghini #carmodels
Alcione Day9: Flat ghost grey is on, hard to distinguish from the primer. #ItaliaGB #histscalemodels
My office is reverting to our 2nd bedroom for a few weeks so no more work on the M13 until Nov. This is the current state of play and I'm pretty happy with it now. Once I'm back at the bench, it'll be onto a small base and the figures. #italiagb #histscalemodels
Wiring for the Bugatti dash - I’ve seen better… #histscalemodels #italiaGB
Shave night....🤦♂️😂👍🍻 #italiagb #histscalemodels
Alcione Day8: White stripe for the waist and signal yellow for the engine cowlings. #ItaliaGB #histscalemodels
Finally found some time to work on my Countach! A very pretty V12 slowly coming together. Smashing out the spark plug wires next - wish me luck haha. #histscalemodels #italiaGB #cars
I added gondolas and put whole plane in satin, sanded and rebuffed the wing decals, added resin as lights and stretched clear sprue position light. One 3d printed cannon gondola is warped 🤯 and decals misprint killed the mojo. I'm about done. I don't have skill for more #histscalemodels #ItaliaGB
sub-frames completed and floor is painted :) I saw a youtube build of this model where the author uses magnets to secure the body... I'll try to do the same #ItaliaGB #histscalemodels
Alcione Day7: Primer day on a sunny day, fine grey and pink. #ItaliaGB #histscalemodels
Finished the #italeri #fiat #131 #abarth for the #italiaGB #histscalemodels #scalemodel #scalemodels #scalemodelling #scale124
Alcione Day6: Landing gears and two more nacelles in place, this wraps up the assembly for now. #ItaliaGB #histscalemodels
No dust, specks nor hair. And the right yellow. 😁👍 #histscalemodels #ItaliaGB
Progress on the Bugatti. Engine, rad and fuel tank all in situ. On the next page I see I have to wire in all the dashboard 🙃😳 #histscalemodels #italiaGB
Making the M13/40 dusty or at least trying to. Trying to get that caked on North Africa dust/grit look. Think I'll give some pigments and oils a crack and see if that will help out with the texture. #italiagb #histscalemodels
Alcione Day5: We have wings and the tail, went for the Bideriva (twin finn) version. #ItaliaGB #histscalemodels
