Aircraft Modeling / Re: Azur Savoia Marchetti SM 79 JIS/JRS B, 1/72

For a many of last days I had problems with bad function or hard to function properly with my Aztec. Then I dismantle it and find problems, some paint leak inside and this cause improper function of the airbrush. Clean up did not solve problem, real problem is in metal pin, not visible in photo, who protrude outside and is covered by metal cone. It stuck. So real solution was to cover with cap both of the holes for paint jar and then pour from above some acetone. After few minutes it clear up all stuck elements and I put back my spray head (on photo). Now I can back to project.

Sponge is best for such effects, years ago I also use it for leather effects and it work fine.

The Last Officer: 99-Year-old Major General John Raaen is the last surviving officer from the first wave of D-Day. He was born at Fort Benning, Georgia in 1922, to a career military officer, and attended the United States Military Academy at West Point. Upon graduation, he received a commission as a Second Lieutenant.

In October of 1943, Raaen was assigned to the newly activated 5th Rangers, and underwent extensive training in Florida, England, and Scotland.

He participated in the first wave of the D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944, serving as Headquarters Company Commander of the 5th Rangers on Omaha Beach. During his first time in combat, Raaen, who was an Army Captain at the time, distinguished himself on the beaches of Normandy France. He was awarded the Silver Star and Combat Infantryman Badge for his actions on that day.

He served with the 5th Ranger Battalion in France, Belgium, and Germany, until December 1944 during the Battle of the Bulge, when he was involved in a serious Jeep accident. He was evacuated back to the United States and was appointed as an instructor in the Department of Ordnance at West Point until the end of the war.

Throughout the postwar years, Raaen held several important commands throughout the United States, Korea, Europe, and Vietnam. In April 1979, he retired at the rank of Major General after 36 years of devoted service to the Army.

Entire kit is painted. Painting instruction is far from reliable but I have no other options but to use them. Archive photos did not bring any additional info, just on visible segments that they differ from proposed pattern. Also, yellows on wings are also on top surface, not only at bottom. Never mind, I feel absolute relaxed during the work, did not bother at all. So the next is clear varnish and decals.
