A Macchi C 202 dedicated to Orlando Mandolini (From the Pacific Coast model in 1:32 scale)

[al49]

Hi everybody, I went a bit further on this model: added some decals, see pictures below.
All decals come from the kit except the call number "91-5" that, I suppose, belonged to pilot Orlando Mandolini ans was home made.
Some more will follow soon.

Anymore happening on this one Al?

 

[al49]

Not much, honestly. I spent a lot of time investigating on one detail, the "Aer Macchi" located on the tail showing the "serie" and other information. Thanks to the help of one Italian friend, I finally ended with with the answer that the correct stencilling should be the one in the following picture. I have already made relevant decals and, hopefully tomorrow I should be able to put them on my model.

Some updates, finally!!!
Added all stencils, including self-made ones and given a couple of hands of "military opaque" from KColors. This is in my opinion a very good semi-matt paint that soften bright colours and hide the gloss coat required before applying decals. Also started working on landing gears. Here some pictures.
