SAVOIA MARCHETTI S.79 "SPARVIERO"

[Ugo Crisponi]

Hello Gents,

this is the first of many Sparviero I am planning to prepare. This first one is the BT version (Bombardamento Terrestre), the other well known version is the anti ship AS with torpedo.

I am not used to work on WW2 stuff, so (Sir John) be gentle

Ugo,

Your logo says it all: "High Quality Illustrations". Stunning!!!

hi Ugo,

i was going to find the parts manual and be really silly, but i don't know where i put it
it looks fine to me, do you want me to check your camouflage, or shall i leave that for someone else

[Jarink]

Excellente!

I would soften the edges on the fuselage highlights, though. Right now they make it look a little shiny.

Ah, Ugo! What is it about your work? I can't quite put my finger on it, but they just glow! You inspire me, please keep it up!

Grubby.

It was only a question of time before you got to this. I'm wondering how far behind it the Regiani's and Folgore's are. The Italians had some very interesting camoflage schemes and some pretty hot looking fighters. Outstanding job! The glass, as usual, is just superb. I would however lighten up the top of the wing engine nacelle and upper wing surface itself. At the moment I think it blends into the body a bit too much. Atmospheric perspective would really help those parts jump out. I think the shine is about right Jar-Jar. It's a semi-gloss finish after all.....

Thank you all!

@ Jarink: this paint colors were semigloss. In many WW2 pictures they looks sometimes incredibly sharp shining, someother more matte...I am really struggling on this.

@ Otterkins: I will try to highlight the nacelle.

I have lots of profiles and versions to do, including the wonderful red shining Corsa. So wanted to get all of yours nipticks before proceeding with this project

I was unaware of that; sorry. I guess that means the shine is OK!

Don't know if it's ok or not...BTW, here is a sample picture. Seems quite semiglossy....
