davmarx Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 (edited) Hi. This is my C.205V Veltro (italian kind of Greyhound) MM.92219 of 1° Squadriglia (Squadron) 1° Gruppo Caccia (Fighter Group) of A.N.R. in March 1944. I built it OOB with Tauro Model decals using the Hasegawa 1/48 kit and adding only the seat belts and the antenna wire. This was the first Macchi receiving the three-tone German grey scheme. Quite unusually, this was the only aircraft receiving white upper wing fasces, as far as all subsequent machines invariably had them painted black.

spitfire Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 That's really nice, I built the same subject in 1/32 scale and very attractive it is too. Cheers Dennis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Dennis Thanks a lot, Dennis. Did you build the Pacific Coast kit ? I've their C.202, has the C.205 the same nose problems as the C.202 ?

spitfire Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 No this one was the 21st Century kit, I also have their C202 and a PCM C202, I did build the PCM G55 which did turn out nice in the end. The 21st Century kit turned out really well I had to do some tweaking though, the worst bits were the main wheels and the spinner, and the upper wing markings in the kit were black so black they ended up.

I've the PCM Macchi C.202, Fiat G.55 and IMHO the most beautiful italian fighter, the Reggiane Re.2005 Thanks for the link to your Macchi too. Ciao.

Notty Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 That is a beautiful made kit, and coincidentally today I just finished decalling my 21st Century Toys 1/32 version of the exact same airframe. I didn't realise about the wing markings, shame my kit only came with the standard black ones. I think these aircraft really suit the Luftwaffe grey scheme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here there are 4 pictures of the aircraft, the first 4 from the top, with a few notes in English too, if you are interested about it. Ciao.

batcode Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 great looking build, very nice job on the paint and finish... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatbox8 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Lovely job. The paintwork is superb. I think the Veltro is a very handsome aeroplane. I have never seen those white fasces before. They look rather good against that grey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
