1/48 Macchi 205, Adriano Visconti of 1st Sq 1st Gr.C.T. Group Build

[javlin]

I have only one of these built yet and is in 1/72 or is it the 202??Well I like the style and lines of alot of the Italian birds and there ships as you know of the Pola build.This plane belong to a Magg.Adriano Visconti of the 1st Sq 1st Gr.C.T.(MM92219) other than that really do not know much more.This guy comes with it's own engine whilist the mouldings do have a far amount of flash but not something that cannot be overcome.The build will be out of box for the most part with a True Details pit designed reallly for the Hasegawa kit.

Model >Tauro Macchi MC 205

Scale >1/48

Level >Intermediate

Improvements >True Details Pit and maybe,maybe Engine plumbing


One thing I love about the Gruppe builds is that it is making me build kits I might of left alone and challenging meand for that I say Thanks!!

 

[vikingBerserker]

Finally, an Italian Fighter (and my favorite). Looking forward to this!

 

[Heinz]

Great choice Javlin!

 

[imalko]

Nice choice. Looking forward to your build.

 

[Wurger]

I echo the post above....

 

[Airframes]

Nice! There's something about the Veltro, don't know what, but I've always liked it - and I know sod all about Italian WW2 aircraft!

 

[lesofprimus]

Great one off entry Kevin, lookin forward to it...

 

[ozhawk40]

Should be good Kevin - nothing like going Italian. My stomach definitely agrees!

Cheers

 

[Wayne Little]

Good one Kevin....looks like a bit of a challenge though?

 

[javlin]

It probably will be Wayne in some regards I definitly need to obtain a book for some reference on the engine area and how the cover actually comes off.The info there will determine if I go buy the Daimler out at Joe's shop if this one looks too bust after built.This little kit has 120 pieces quite the lot for a 1/48 but as I mentioned in the first post the Gruppe builds are forcing me to expand and play some.Cheers Kevin

That Tac-Recce F-6A Mustang under the Zero in the PTO thread might be the 2nd entry depending on how fast this one goes it has some nice Brit markings and camo(tan green)

 

[Catch22]

This will be neat!

 

[Wayne Little]

Got a book or two on the 202 might shed some light will check them....

 

[Micdrow]

Great one there Kevin!!

 

[109ROAMING]

Should be a sweet build! looking forward to it

 

[A4K]

With all above! Should be a nice build Kevin!

 

[Wayne Little]

Got a book or two on the 202 might shed some light will check them....

Nothing I can help you with at this stage...sorry!....will keep looking though.

I love the italian fighters, they were ugly as sin with the radial engines (C.200)

but when they stuck the inline Daimler engines in and gave them a nose-job, they became beautiful!

 

[lesofprimus]

Gotta agree....

 

[Lucky13]

Yes and no! Love them as well, not the most beautiful of aircraft designs, but, they did have a certain charm, well most of them anyway....

Bit like some of the wine I suppose - a bit rough round the edges, but flows smooth and quick!!
