ArmouredSprue Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Hi all I haven't post here for a while, so I decided to post the little Italian stallion I just finished today. Machi Mc.202 Folgore (Italeri 1/72) representing a very well documented aircraft of the 51 Stormo, 153 Gruppo Autonomo, 374 Squadriglia - Sicily 1942. Model built basically straight from the box apart for the seat belts. Painted with Gunze aqueous line. Critics and comments are very welcome. Cheers Paulo 50 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanond Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Fantastic! I'm building some Italeri and Hasegawa Folgore. It is good to see one done so well. The camouflage is very challenging. Nanond 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VG 33 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Hello This is a fantastic build and the painting of these smoke rings is most impressive. Congratulations. Patrick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyOD Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 That's beautiful, especially the very skillful application of the camouflage! I really like Italian WW2 aircraft but the complicated paint jobs make them largely off limits to me... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winenut Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Great Folgore Paulo! I really like these WWII Italian aircraft and their interesting schemes Smoke rings and overall camo and weathering looks spot on Looking at the reference photos it's a fantastic version of the real thing I think I'm going to have to add one of these to the stash Bravo!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmouredSprue Posted September 8, 2021 Author Share Posted September 8, 2021 Thanks everyone for your kind words. The camouflage ring wasn't too difficult as I was think at first. I used Tamiya XF-13 thinned with Tamiya paint retarder (1:1) and applied with a fine pointed brush. I firstly drawn how I wanted the rings formats based on my references photos using watercolour pencils and then I brush painted over it. Using the watercolour pencils allowed me to correct any shape which might be wrong (just smudge it using a cotton bud moisture in water). I'm glad you guys have liked it.
