Jet Militär MB 339

[francesco61]

Hi, sorry for my language: I am italian and I write in english till I can start with german (I hope).
I am building an AERMACCHI MB 339 from Italeri in 1/72 scale. It is a version used by the Argentinian Navy during the so called "Falkland war".
The mold is old and is coming from the same of the MB 326 that differed in the front part of the fuselage, so, the new mold is not correct in lenght of the fuselage. tlhe model is originated in the '70 years and is easy to see the level of the not high  quality of the italian factory.
Here the model from the box:
I am not able to put the picture. I try later
Ciao
Francesco

[Hajo L.]

Yep, I can see it!

Didn´t knew the kit is that old, as I have never seen it during the previous years here in germany.

It was from the 1970 years...
Is not very bad for the time in which it was molded but now it show a lot of mistakes and positive lines of the panels all around the model
I am again to built after 20 or more years of stop in modelling. I make this model like an exercise to came back to my hobby.
I start with the building of the interior with a minimum of painting and the application of the decals.
In the second pictures you can see a piece of lead that I put with the help of Vinavil glue on the front of the model to avoid it seat on its back when finished

Really the 70s? I thought the kit is based on the 1992 Supermodel kit? (The 326 is also based on a 90s Supermodel kit)

Der MB-339 Bausatz ist Anfang der 90er Jahre erstmals erschienen. Es ist der letzte Bausatz welcher von Supermodel entwickelt wurde.
Die Firma Supermodel ist parallel zu Italeri Anfang der 70er entstanden. Wenn ich mich nicht irre, ist der Gründer von Supermodel irgendwann in den 90ern verstorben. Daher waren die Bausätze auch jahrelang vom Markt verschwunden. Die Erben haben die Formen dann irgendwann anscheinend an Italeri verkauft.

Are you about to do a full building feature here on MB? If so, i will move the thread to the "Bauberichte (model building report)" area.

[francesco61]

Yes. I mistake '90 and not '70... sorry entschuldigung

[francesco61]

Thank you very much Wolf. I am new here so I make a lot of mistakes!!! (consider also I am italian...Mistakes are our best national products!!!).

In a few days I have asembled the big part of the model. I put lead also in the gun pods.

[francesco61]

I tried to fill the spaces between wing and fuselage with putty and a little bit of vinilic glue.

[francesco61]

I continue building gleing the gun pods and tip tanks

[francesco61]

I continue building gluing the gun pods and tip tanks

[francesco61]

[francesco61]

I rush to finish the plane to win a game with my friends so I put decals on but I Must pait the wheels and make a better finish of the model... I make it in the next step

So far so good, Francesco!
If you don't mind I would like to point out, that some better lighting would be a noticeable benefit for your pictures and it would be more easy for us as your followers to see what you are doing.

Ciao to beautiful Italy!

Ulf
