Nowadays we have extreme sports, extreme makeovers, and even extreme (computer) programming, but Massimo Barbieri may have invented a new "extreme" — extreme detailing. This master craftsman from Carpi, Italy, specializes in large-scale models packed with mind-bogglingly exact detail. If you've seen the articles featuring his work in previous issues of FineScale Modeler ( January 2002) and Great Scale Modeling (1999 and 2002), you already know what to expect from his latest scratchbuilt wonder. Massimo's rendering of American World War II fighter ace Don Gentiles P-51B is a masterpiece of detail, functional and static, inside and out. Even the best kits don t offer the kind of detail Massimo craves, so he scratchbuilds all his models from styrene and metal right down to the interior structure of the airframe. Since he works in an unusual scale, 1/20, he cant rely on commercial kits even for basic fuselage and wing structures. Massimo builds up these sections just like the full-scale aircraft, starting with the interior bulkheads.
