SAI.403 Dardo in 1/72

Here are a few photos of my Modelik SAI.403 Dardo which I scanned, and reduced to 1/72 scale.

The model has a very basic cockpit

Fuselage center section. I colored the fasces insignia with Photoshop

Tail planes. The Savoy crest, MM518 and Ambrosini 403 were photoshop additions

This was a fun build, with no particular problems in fit or finish - even in the small scale. Detail is a little sparse for it's original 1/33rd scale, but it's fine for 1/72.

This was one of my favorite planes in the game "Secret weapons over Normandy" Easy to track, but difficult to shoot down :twisted:

Nice job! A very pretty aircraft, I like the turtledeck. You bases for these models are just right too!
