BTW, in Ali D’Italia #2 is photograph (page 45) of Folgore Serie IX at production stage were it shows that wheel wells were enclosed. Hence I did this same in my model.

Thank you!
It is one of my older builds and I'm aware that has some mistakes (tail).
Painting was an challenge but also incredible fun, it is a "warm up" for MC 200 :).

Hello Lazycat,
Welcome to the forum.
Great shots and beautiful paint job on your MC202.
As Vince pointed out, that particular paint scheme is very hard to do in 1:72 scale.
Again, great job!
Vincent.

Hey Lazycat welcome to Stormo. Excellent camouflage on such a tiny model my friend. It never fails to amaze me to see such outstanding work in 1/72 scale.Bravo and well done.

Thank you!

Airbrush - for this project I used clone of Iwata HCP (RIP now - initial quality was equal to original however poor quality of materials shorten it’s life).
Paints are Humbrol and Xtracolor thinned with Lacquer thinner.

Hi LK:
This is really beautiful! And in 1/72 no less. My hat is off to you, man! If you don't mind me asking: what did you mean when you said you made some mistakes (tail)? It looke great to me.
Best to you, Patrick

Thank you!
Horizontal surfaces are from later model (serie XI?) as per Hasegawa kit. It should be backdated as in Italieri kit (this same as on MC.200).
Other than that, the underside gray should be darker.
