Savoia Marchetti came out great. Awesome history and details. Yeah, that's why FDR used Yankee Clipper during Yalta trip...no landing strip necessary; land on water, sub pops up to refuel it, and off 20 minutes later and never know he was there. That's an impressive plane for its time! Nice Job! Love the green color scheme and Italian flags on the back.
Fantastic design and with all the tech on board must have been a pinnacle of engineering at the time.👍🤔 Great build,Charlie. Thanks for showing, I really enjoyed that👍😎Pete 🤓
Good to hear your feeling better. Always enjoying the history. Funny about the coffee trade. Jeff and Woody seemed mesmerized by the story. Very Cool looking plane!!! Nicely Done Charlie!!!! Thanks for sharing
With the Savoia Marchetti you have achieved a result, which was worth all the work you've done. A great model, Charlie. It's good that the medicine worked too. Wish you a good and complete recovery. All the best. Joachim
Looks beautiful Charlie, love the twin fuselage, pusher and puller top engine seaplane. I remember when Lindberg used to include stands like that in there kits.😊 Feel better, weather should cool down a bit from last week.
Glad you are feeling better, and the medicines are working. Thanks for the history behind the aircraft, you sure ended up with a great looking model. Most excellent. :)
Charlie, I always want to hang around!!! Love that you provided the history although when you introduced the build Last week I looked it up. What a friggin’ amazing aircraft. Wouldn’t it have been amazing to be a passenger on one of those planes? Love your build but…..saving the most important for the last: Glad to hear you’re feeling better and that the back and foot pain is better has lessened. Take care amigo!
Glad to hear that you have your pain killers, the 55 is beautiful and you have made a fantastic job of her. If you get chance Charlie, watch an animation film called" The Wind Rises", or just look up clips on you tube. If you like the 55 you should like the aircraft in this little film.
The SM 55X turned out awesome very well done sir hope the bad weather goes around you yeah I’ve also had decals like that where I got lucky and they broken big sections good saves
