Macchi mc202 Folgore 1/72 finished

That is a real stunner. Love that paint job and all credit to you for getting it done.
 
Not in my wheelhouse but I really like the shape and your build. Reminds me of an Italian supermarket a massive engine and the rest comes for free.
 
Very nicely done. Of all the photos of -202s I've got, they never seem to get very dirty or stained, so subtle weathering is the bidness here. Which is nice

Wonderful result Tony. Very nicely painted and finished. That tail wheel tyre is much larger than other fighters of the period.
Cheers joe , actually confession time - the tail wheel is out of the spares box , the kit one pinged out of the tweezers while i was trying to paint it and disappeared into another dimension . This spare one was the nearest I could find although as you noticed slightly bigger than the original .
“ and I’d have gotten away with it too if it wasnt for those meddling kids !” 😆

Never admit to stuff you don't have to until waaay afterwards. Unless anyone else notices

Cheers Ian , got the 1/32 mc205 21st century toys to do next , the one I got for a tenner at the last show we went to .
Oh, I had that one, since sold off again. The one that screws together and then has little caps over the screw-heads. Not bad in detail and accuracy either
