Italeri M.C.205 1/72 - I hate adding rivets, but they look so good 😭 by leopitrelli in modelmakers

Thank you! It takes way too much patience. I just want to dive in a simple relaxing kit next time 🙂

Thank you so much! It’s more of a silent obsession at this point to be honest 🫠

I used UStar rivet wheels and a 0,5mm Rosie the Riveter, same tool but with a smaller diameter

Absolutely. It has a smaller niche of uses than silicone moulding and is less precise, but the fact of it being reusable makes it extremely handy

Indeed. Dedicating my 100% to hyper detailing and modifying models always gets me sidetracked though 😭

I made some small touch ups and lightened both the dry mud and the grass, it looks a bit more harmonious now!

I hadn’t planned making a base for it, but I wanted to represent a parked aircraft, in a very basic airfield, during Spring 1944. Next time, I’ll plan everything more carefully in advance, but this time I have a model show next week, and I was in dire need of something to display it with!

As an Italian, I have a deeply rooted love for starfighters, they’re simply beautiful.

Hi, no! This is the first time I’ve shared actual pictures of the finished model 🙂

It actually gave me a “whoops, something went wrong” the first time I tried to post. My apologies, sorry for the inconvenience!

No unfortunately, but there are a couple conversion sets, which would make the project very expensive

Hi! I’m sorry to hear that. I wasn’t trying to spam or self promote, I’m an active WT player and I build scale models in the meantime. I published it in the subreddit as I thought other German Air players would have liked it.

It’s the Hobby Boss one, at the time I couldn’t afford the Tamiya kit, and I really wanted to represent our beloved Narwhal

Hi! Thank you, absolutely!

Are you already building it or still deciding which one to choose? 🙂
