Another quick project completed, although it was quite a struggle . The kit is awful. Primitive to a fault and the Hasegawa's forms probably come from the Edo period. Unfortunately, there are not too many options available if you want to build a Folgore in 72nd . The model required some scratch building, a few PE parts (mostly in cockpit, so you can't see them anyway), an air filter from Aires and undercarriage elements from Airone. I don’t remember where I get a Venturi tube from. So here it goes: Macchi MC.202 Folgore of Tenente Giulio Reiner (MM7823/73-7), 73ª Squadriglia, 9° Gruppo, 4° Stormo, August 1942 Please enjoy and comment at will. Cheers, Marcin- 22 replies

Hello all Here is my latest completion - Hasegawa's 1/48 Folgore, a lovely kit to build. I'm usually an out of the box builder, but I've always had a soft spot for the look of the MC202, so was tempted into the aftermarket for this one to try and add a little extra nice detail to this build. The extras were: * Smoke ring decals from Mike Grant * Ultracast resin seat, wheels and exhausts * Montex Maxi Mask for cockpit frame and some markings * EZ line for the antenna wire The fuselage band and the white tail crosses were painted on rather than using decals, and the underside wing roundels were done with the Montex masks. However, I found these very fiddly so reverted to the decals for the upper wings. A quick note of praise for Mike Grant's smoke ring decals, these are really thin and conformed beautifully with no hint of silvering. It was painted in Tamiya acrylics XF19 Sky Grey for the underside and XF59 Desert Yellow for the upper surfaces - perhaps not the best matches for authenticity, but that's something that I'm not too fussed about. Kept the weathering light, with just an oil paint wash to highlight the panel lines and a thin dark acrylic mix for some exhaust staining. Pretty happy with how it turned out, and really enjoyed this build. Thanks for looking Adam

Dear Fellow Britmodellers I always liked those Italian colour schemes, and the Hasegawa MC202 can be had quite cheaply even as a 'combo'. I added the True details resin cockpit and wheels. I hope you like the 'Vespa arrabbiata Andrew
