Merci monsieur 8 hours ago, corsaircorp said: Hello Giorgio, I really enjoyed the WiP and the RFI is giving it justice ! Veeeery nice Macchi here, what left to say, just wonderfull Bellissima ragazza, In fact in italy, did the Aircraft and boat are consdered as female gender too ?? Whatever, you did great ! Congratulations. Sincerely. Corsaircorp Thanks CC! Funny you should mention about the gender - that is one thing that, as a non native English speaker, I'll never get used to: in Italian, boats are female but aircraft are actually male!! 1 hour ago, BerndM said: Awesome model from one of the most elegant and unique propeller driven fighter planes. Hey Bernd, good to hera from you! Thanks a lot, glad you like her As I mentioned earlier, there still was a missing bit, that I forgot to add in the end: the C202 had an additional external gunsight. Here you go Now I can actually call it completed! Ciao 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatbox8 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 An absolutely stunning rendition of Macchi's beautiful fighter. All the extra work you've put in has really paid off. The camouflage is expertly applied and your home-made masks for the fasci are incredible. Can you tell me why some 96 Squadriglia aircraft had the 97 Squadriglia emblem on the fin? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Meatbox8, thank you for your comment As for your question, if you refer to this emblem this was associated to the 9° Gruppo (9th Group), which both 96esima and 97esima squadriglia belonged to, during WWII. As to not always being applied and in which position when it was, that is some kind of mess that I don't think there is a way to clarify Italian WWII aircraft markings and camouflage seems to be one of the craziest things for a modeller to approach ...

Ciao Thanks for the info. My mistake as I thought this was a Squadriglia badge rather than a Gruppo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winenut Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Wow! Lovely 1/48 build and finish on a great subject. The camo looks like a challenge but the result you have achieved is superb. So impressed with some of the final markings you did yourself too. Always enjoy your contributions and generosity. Cheers Bruce 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spadgent Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Top drawer G. I'm in awe of all your work. The finish on this is wonderful, that WIP shot of the IP is breath taking in its intricacy. Bravo indeed. Johnny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyTiger66 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 It really is a beauty Giorgio; Bravo; one of my favourites for this year With the very first two photos in the RFI, you could have some fun with Photoshop. Convert the photograph of the model to black and white. Crop the blue background, paste the black and white model over the real aircraft in the original photo; I think it will look the same as the real thing ! Now I’ll catch up with the 205 on the excellent WIP thread. Best regards TonyT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruce bay Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Stunning build, and a beautiful aircraft - more beautiful than the Spirtfire I think... though that might not go down well! Amazing finish and mottling camo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kagemusha Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Oh man, that's close to perfection, love the Folgore, and the Veltro - which I'm looking forward to seeing complete - will have to have a real good read of your build thread, thanks for sharing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
