For 3 days boxes stay on my table, but due to regular work I didn't even had time to open it, less start some work.
This's about to change in a matter of minutes... :-tri

@Scott: nice cockpit, have heard that CA made good job of it :-ok
@Srecko: I thought you're going to make that '35', all mottled in German covering :-dal

All mottled... ? Most are patched, not mottled.

Mate- from three suggested samples I find images only for one sample. Problem with images I explain before. Then I have used one of three numbers I have provided in decal sheet, I simply deduct material for two machines and use this one. If you have any image I would be happy to see it.

Image of E8+JK is from Replic n°50, and profile is from Ali e Colori n°01.
There's also another interesting profile page with some comments: http://www.simmerspaintshop.com/forums/f29-aircraft-profile-painting/fiat-cr-42-a-2838/index6.html, where's noted that also veterans of NSG9 agree on this cammo... Image I've attached is taken from that page.

I used wrong word mottled instead of patched, thanks for correcting me ;)

Yes, this subject could be done, I did not have this material before. Never mind, one lost project :(

Do not consider it lost, after all you did one fine machine and nice model :-ok It's not as appealing as the mentioned one, but it's nice looking nevertheless...
Knowing you, there'll be plenty of opportunities to do that "patched" as well. OK, it might take even 2 days to paint it :-/, but what the heck ;)

Finally I managed to get started :-jump
first issue was cleaning of plastic and attachment of some PE parts on both cockpits; afterwards both were painted Verde anticorrosione and Grigio Chiaro.
Now waiting for the paint to dry, and tonight I'll continue... :-wave

Hello all,  :-salut :-salut

A very good kit. I've started the building of one in the markings of the only one CR-42 in Free French Air Force.

Have a good day,
