Mister "MC", the great Mario Castoldi walks away from one of his prettier aircraft, the C.202. The prototype (MM. 445) at the Campo di Lonate Pozzolo, 1940. Getting ready in the cockpit was Macchi's chief test pilot Comm. Guido Carestiano.

The MM. 445 was in its later improved configuration: with the original short supercharger lateral intake changed to a longer rounded one. It looked less "tedesco" that way.

Excellent photos. I'm starting to build one of these now and it's very useful.
Do you know what colors are recommended for the Italian Brown, Green and Grey underside? I usually prefer Gunze or Mr Hobby but I'm open for suggestions otherwise.
Cheers
