Hallo friends,
as asked by some fellows forumites, here are two Ansaldo SVA 5 (not whif or fantasy builds) I have built in my present modeling life...
Both of them represent planes that served in the 87th Squadriglia during WW1.
In particular they were 2 of the 8 SVA 5 that took part to the raid over Vienna on August 9, 1918.
The first SVA5 I ever made was the first kit in 2011, after maybe 25 years I abandoned our hobby.
It was a SMER (dreadful!) 1/50 Scale.
It represents the plane of Tenente Giordano Bruno Granzarolo (it's the plane hosted at the Italian Air Force Museum in Vigna di Valle, not far
from Rome). unfortunately the top wing broke in the middle and I hwas not able to repair it in a satisfying way.
Another error I made on this kit is the camo on the lower wing, the real plane had no camo over the plain Clear Doped Linen.
Here are the pictures
The second SVA 5 represents the plane of Tenente Aldo Finzi, same Squadriglia.
It is a FLY 1/48 scale kit, very good and accurate design.
Built in 2013
Here are the pictures
This is the artwork I imagined for a unique base to host the 2 planes:
I hope you'll like them... the no.5 is far better than the no.1
Thanks for watching!
Antonio
