1/48 Hasegawa Macchi C.202 Folgore

by Ermanno Bonafin

--------------------

 

Here's some images of my Folgore.  I added Eduard FE288 Zoom Set, exhausts from Ultracast and the decals came from the Skymodels sheet SKY48-015 and featuring the plane of the Italian ace M.llo Ennio Tarantola, Sicily 1942.  On the right side of the cowling there the text 'Dai Banana!' (Go Banana!) as Tarantola worked, in the pre-war time, for a banana importer.

The model was painted with Mister Kit acrylics range Nocciola Chiaro4 (AC-016) on the top and Grigio Azzurro Chiaro1 (AC-020) on the under surfaces.  The 'smoke rings' was sprayed free hand with Model Master (4724) heavily thinned and a lot of patience.
