Hasegawa 1/72 Macchi 202 Folgore

Post by PGAS »

Here is my newly completed Folgore. I deepened the wheel wells since it was just a shallow flat hole. Some scratch built details were added to the cockpit. Lastly but not least, I used Mike Grant decals for the smoke ring camouflage. For anyone who would like to see the build, it can be found here.

A very fun kit to build with daunting camouflage (at least for me).

Cheers,
Paul

This is it. The moment we should have trained for.

Lovely Folgore, especially well finished. The base really sets the model off.
