Hasegawa 1:72 scale Macchi M.C.202 Flogore

[19kilo]

This was a fun little 1:72 build. Hand painted with Tamiya acrylics with weathering using Tamiya panel accent and Flory washes. Hope you like!

If there's one aircraft that I don't have in my build que let alone my stash it's this aircraft here. I'm going to end up with one of these thanks to your little inspiration here. Very well painted and weathered. Love the camo scheme on these!!!

Looks awesome! I always liked this bird, since I first discovered it. How was the build? I ask because I actually do have this one stashed away. Thanks for sharing.

The build was fun. No real issues there. I did run into problems though on the decals. I picked this kit up at a model show. It was wrapped in plastic but apparently at some point had been exposed to moisture. The decals that came with it were ruined. I didn’t know this of course until I opened the kit, long after I’d first bought it. Thankfully, I had some 1:72 scale WWII Italian Air Force decals in my spare decal stash so I used those.

Stunning work on this beautiful bird! The Italians sure built them pretty! You captured the look of an experienced veteran perfectly!

Really nice finish. The Italians had some good looking fighters.
