Hi,
one more step forward: I added decals, redone individual numbers and given a coat of very, very much tinned down sand color in order to tone down colors, specially red, green and white but also the black of fasces.
Individual nos have been redone because I wanted them to be more consistent to those that can just perceived on the original photo.
Hi everybody,
the Veltro model is now complete, here following some pictures:
Apologize for the background but that was the last sunny place in my flat.
As you probably noticed I added some weathering, some exhaust stain and all little details.
I also redone the individual codes in order to make them more similar to those on the photo I took as reference.
Any comment or suggestion is very welcome as it will be helpful for the next model.
Cheers
Alberto
Hi Ivan,
if not yet seen, you can find some information, including an allied pilot opinion, in this Wikipedia page Macchi C.205 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I also have an article comparing Italian Series 5 fighters with German equivalent birds, but it's in Italian, let me know if you are interested.
