P.180
Avanti of the Italian Coast Guard
This is the Amodel 1/72 Avanti P.180 of the Italian Coast Guard. From what I can determine, the Servizio Aereo della Guardia Costiera has only one P.180 used for maritime patrol. I used Tamiya X-5 Gloss Green, X-7 Gloss Red, Tamiya Liquid Surface Primer White and Caracal Decal sheet CD72036 Piaggio P.180
Avanti.

The kit is built out of the box. It is from a short run company from the Ukraine and they make models unlikely to be made by other firms. The detail of the kit is not
Tamiya-level for sure and I approached the build as if it was the "world's finest
vacuform." Every seam needs attention from the old wet and dry and some filler was needed here and there. Clear parts are not state of the art and I used Future to help improve the clarity.
