Great scratch-build ideas.

The engine was exposed at “Museo della Scienza e della Tecnica” in Milano Italy,it ‘s really big!

Awesome work - it's a shame the kit industry ignores the rich history of Italian aviation while producing the 978th Spitfire kit.

There is a new AMP 1/48 kit of the MC 72, I am tempted to get it.

Woow love this plane that is part of my nations aeronautical history, if you may need pics of the original one just ask. I toke some at the museum in wich it is exposed

[@NeverAPro]

I wanna go to that museum so bad! The MC72 in the museum has details that are not quite original like the 1934 one, like the white stripe and the wing edge. I am aiming for the 1934 version. I hope it will not disappoint you.

Would be nice if you could just slow down little bit while making or painting. Also put some zoom please when you assembling (like cockpit) because all we see are your hands and something small in them lol. Nevertheless, good video.

It’s not easy to assemble while filming... sometimes it feels like juggling. Yes, I will experiment with longer videos, as it seems like most of you are bot really «bored» with the content. Thanks for the input.
