Macchi 202 "Folgore" Hasegawa 1/48


Recommended Posts

Hello friends. I thought it would be natural after my Macchi 200, to present the legend of the Italian Air Force, the Macchi 202. In fact this model was done some times ago for a customer and I did recover the pictures only recently. I will not repeat myself for what has to be done to do a correct 202, WIPs are abundant enough on the web. This plane was the mount of Marquis de Briona when flying with the 74° Squadriglia, 23° Gruppo, 3° Stormo, wearing the "Angry wasp"unit emblem and the mid-production Breda elaborated branched out mottling. The superb SBS cockpit was used as the welcome Eduard's wheels bay to improve the poor parts of the kit. The individual code is inside the white triangle on the fin, an unusual feature. Best regards.

Wow, simply wow! That is one very nice Macchi 202, absolutely love it.

 

The surface colouring and weathering is very subtle and realistic, but the star of the build has to be those wheel bays. Detailed excellence with some appropriate grime!
