1/48 FREMS MB-339A Trainer

Gallery Article by Maurizio Bressan

 

Here are some pics of the Italian Trainer Airplane Aermacchi MB 339A. The kit is from  FREMS, a new firm that have produced only two 1:48 kits: MB 339A PAN (National Aerobatic Team - Pattuglia Acrobatica Nazionale - Frecce Tricolori) and the Training version called MB 339A.

The kit is built completely OOB except for the cockpit. I re-built the cockpit for the 70%. The kit is very good but there are some little mistakes (seats size, panels are too marked and  decals are too visible). I used Evergreen rods and plastic sheets to improve the cockpit and lead stripes for the seat belts.

I used Humbrol gray to paint the model. I spent about 40 hrs to finish the model. 

Please note that I collaborate as photographer in a friend's web site in which you can find hundreds of aeronautic pics:   http://web.tiscalinet.it/mfiles.
