Macchi C202


Recommended Posts

Macchi C202 series III (Macchi built) of 84º Squadriglia,10º Gruppo, 4º Stormo.

This was the personal aircraft of the unit commander Capt. Franco Lucchinii in October 1942.

The aft engine cover was a replacement as was the starboard wing which was taken from a later production (Macchi built) machine.

The kit was an easy build that I made more difficult by attempting to "improve" it.

Decals are on the thick side.

Scratch buit flaps in the radiator (fore and aft), butterfly in the supercharger intake, venturi in front of radiator, and clear navigation lens put into wing tips.

Fuselage band and tail cross painted instead of using decals, along with wing tips and spinner.

Tamiya flat white with very tiny amount of yellow and buff added to make off white to match nose decal.

Pictures taken in less than ideal conditions on phone.

Work in progress under Macchi Mayhem.
