An 1/72° model from Hasegawa.

Two models in the box. I'm going to make two Macchi of 73 sq in North Africa in 1942. I don't know if the box art is true, on pictures they are various camo scheme.
I choose the D1 scheme.

Having worked with the Italeri version of the 'Folgore' it is interesting to see the Hasegawa version. You are making a nice job so far.
Dave. :)

Warning!
In the actual aircraft the line carved towards the trailing edge, as in the drawing. It seems you did the contrary!
