Was watching one of these on ebay this week but missed the auction end , could have maybe got it for £9 all in . If I won it I would have been aiming to do the natural metal version too .- yak face

Italeri 1/72 Macchi mc202 Folgore
Airframe now complete , primed and paint has begun . I started with white round the rear fuselage which was masked off for the fuselage band . The grigio azurro undersides followed this then this was masked and the top surfaces given a coat of giallo mimetico ( sand ) . The top colours continue...- yak face

Next figure painting project
Incredible work john , looks excellent . The new figures look good too . I’ve used the AK 3rd gen paints and found them to be great - although I mainly airbrush them but I thought they brushed ok , nice fine pigment and good coverage . Of course I dont know how they would perform with blending...- yak face

Italeri 1/72 Macchi mc202 Folgore
Yes its very similar to maskol joe , its a latex fluid that dries very rubbery , its main drawback is its impossible to clean out of a brush and it stinks like fish ! It was always used in schools back in the day over here for sticking paper etc but we mainly used to make great big rubbery balls...- yak face

Italeri 1/72 Macchi mc202 Folgore
Been playing around regarding the camo scheme . Rather than spraying overall green and trying to paint the sand splodges I’m going to spray the sand first then mask the splodges and spray the green. I got a wing from the spares box and gave it a coat of sand , then applied some random splodges...- yak face

Italeri 1/72 Macchi mc202 Folgore
Started with the cockpit today . Its detailed enough considering its a very small opening and not much will be seen , even with the open ( sideways hinged ) canopy . First job was to sort the two ejector pin marks on the sidewalls . A quick scrape and some tiny strips of plastic card and they...- yak face
