Hi everyone I'm new here, my name is Jinoo koo. And
I live in Korea.
One of my favorite aircraft model is old italian fighter.
History of CR42:
The Fiat CR.42 Falco ("Falcon") was a single-seat biplane which served primarily in Italy's Regiaa Aeronutica before and during WWII. The aircraft was produced by the Turin firm, and entered service, in smaller numbers, with the air forces of Belgium, Sweden and Hungary. With more than 1,800 built, it was the most widely produced Italian aircraft to take part in World War II. The Fiat CR.42 was the last of the Fiat biplane fighters to enter front line service as a fighter, and represented the epitome of the type. RAF Intelligence praised its exceptional manoeuvrability, further noting that
"the plane was immensely strong".

The Kits:
Aircraft is Italeri's 1/48 injection kit. I did no added detailing except
the seat belts. And.....see also next to a car is a Fiat Topolino. A
resin kit from Gasoline. The Crew is...... not Italian. Originally they are 1/48
German machanics from Velinden. They are almost naked so, original nationality is irrelevant. But the pilot is real Italian!! from CMK.
I want to express the desert landscape of El Adem in 1940. But the result don't know well. Ha Ha Ha!!!!
