Really looking the biz Vic.

One of your best.

Super nice. Vic. Is there a name the Regia Aeronautica had for this scheme?

 

[fubar57]

I've heard it called "fried egg" but can't remember the official name. Off to the books.............

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Many thanks gents and you have hit the only name that I know for this camo George. The only reference I have is the 'M1' scheme which is referenced in José Fernandez book 'Macchi C.200 Saetta.' Orange Series No 8113.

Lovely work so far Vic!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Many thanks to all. I'm calling this one done though will not be entering it as a finished build, lots of things went wrong over the last couple of days and the final straw was my having forgot to paint the camo colour on the cockpit screens. This I noticed after having spent considerable time trying to get them to fit correctly and after I'd removed the masking and noticed also that I've put the windscreen upside down. I haven't got the enthusiasm to sort it all out and have decided to move on to the next project.

Some final pics as she stands now.

See you's in the 'One Trick Pony!'

Wouldn't have noticed if you didn't point it out !

Looks great to me Vic

 

[SaparotRob]

That's gorgeous.

 

[Crimea_River]

That's a shame you think that way Vic but I understand how you feel. I had the same emotion with my Eduard Wildcat.

That said, I think you've built a cracker of a model there and would be happy to judge it with the rest of your peers for the GB.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Thanks for that Andy, but I've placed her on display in my cabinet and am happy to leave it there. Time to move on and I've got my pony almost sorted.

 

[Wayne Little]

A great job non the less Vic.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Thanks Wayne.
