viperchief Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Here is my completed 1/72 Hasegawa Macchi 202. I love the lines of this aircraft! I added True Details wheels and used smoke ring decals by Mike Grant. Painted with MRP and Tamiya paints. Thanks for looking! 50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Excellent I love the Macchi’s both the 202 & 205 they just look right to my eye in that Camouflage Pattern. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsar Bomba Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 There is just something about Italian aircraft...and cars for that matter... Really nice build, well done. Some FYI in case you didn't already know: I remember reading about this aircraft. The pilot, a Mr. ME Tarantola, used to be a fruit vendor hence the "Dai Banana!" - Go Banana! marking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch K Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Lovely build of a beautiful design. Does the Hasagawa kit have proper asymmetric wings? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 What a beautiful build! Please confirm that I have understood it right, and that the green paint rings are decals? If yes, then I am thoroughly impressed, as they look painted. If I understood wrong and you have painted them, then you did a great job!!! Either way, superb model!!!

Spitfire31 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Beautiful 1:48th model from a 1:72nd scale kit. (Had to try a new angle on that 'looks like a bigger scale' – it really does.) Inspirational! And those Mike Grant smoke rings are ace. Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanC Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Excellent model. And what a clever idea for the camouflage. You should have kept quiet and allowed everyone to compliment you on your airbrushing skills! Ian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HL-10 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 That is superb! It definitely looks bigger than 72nd scale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG X Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 smoke ring decals - who would have guessed - brilliant!! I did think it had a Welsh pilot though 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pizzapaolo Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Looks superb, can't believe they are decals, makes me want to reach for Italian aircraft in the stash but workbench says no.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winenut Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Molto Bene! Great build and finish We're those smoke ring decals difficult to apply or did they behave themselves??? I must say they look painted on to me! Cheers Bruce 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a nice faded edge too! 11 hours ago, Winenut said: Molto Bene! Great build and finish We're those smoke ring decals difficult to apply or did they behave themselves???
