Devo Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) G'day All, This is the old ESCI Kit #4077 of the Macchi. Its OOB with the exception of the crew figures(Hasegawa) and the Decals(Hawkeye Models Australia) and big tip tanks from OzMods. Brush painted with Humbrol enamels. I thought it would be an easy scheme to do......I was wrong. It represents an R.A.N. Macchi with 724 Sqn, HMAS Albatross, back in the day. I know the pic's are rubbish but I'm sure you will get the gist of it. Cheers, Devo Edited December 3, 2019 by Devo 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Delta 210 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Very handsome scheme! I can see why it wasn't easy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonners Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Always good to see an ESCI MB326. This is probably my favourite kit, in spite of its basic cockpit and inaccurate seats. It's just a shame that only the single-seater MB326K boxings included the larger tip tanks (AFAIK), as some of two-seater kit options require them.

I couldn't believe how good the kit is for its age. Absolutely no filler used, it fits together fantastic, no trenches for panel lines. The white plastic was a bit weird, only because I have never built an aircraft model with white plastic sprues before. I have an orange version, which I will do as an RAAF aircraft...….just need to get the bigger tip tanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 You certainly knocked that into shape! Nice colour combination on the RAN machine too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todders Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Great job on that kit! Makes me want to pull mine out of the stash and start it but I just can't decide on what markings to do it in. Love your choice of paint scheme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of RAAF Macchi's had nice looking schemes on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
