hallo
i have located some hasegawa 1/48 macchi mc 202 decals of the 363a squadriglia better known as gigi tre osei.
i have a macchi 202 also in 1/48 hasegawa kit but in the cobelligerante scheme on which i would like to apply the newly located decals .
do i need to do any modifications to the plane?
am i correct in using thefollowing colors to obtain the serir camoulage scheme?
nocciola chiaro 4 overall surfaces
verde oliva 2 camouflage patches
grigio chiaro 1 underside
i am looking at as a reference at the macchi 202 363a squadriglia 150o gruppobengazi libya 1942 model by randy lutz seen on hyperscale website
thanks in advance
ciao a tutti!
stefano

Hello Stefano,
Since, your model depicts the 363 Sq. 150 Gruppo in Benghazi, you are right on with the colours.
Nocciola Chiaro 4 overall surfaces
Verde Oliva 2 camouflage patches
Grigio Azzurro Chiaro 1 underside
I have a reference: Colori e Schemi Mimetici della Regia Aeronautica 1935-1943 by Postiglioni and Degl'Innocenti.
Hope this helps,
Vincent.

Stefano,
I warn you that MC 202 black "363-2" is a mistake which lasts by some 40 years... take a look here:

Never trust in decals, nor in (old) profiles!

Ciao
