I did only a quick build of the cockpit interior because I saw that most of the difficult of this model would have been in the fit of the parts, originating from the 2002 Macchi 202 mould, and in the camouflage...

I preferred to improve the appearance of many external details such as the engine exhausts, the air intakes above and below the nose, the sand filter, the tail with the small wheel housing and the lower and upper bonnet, restoring the panel lines where necessary.

At the moment I have joined the lower wing to which I had previously opened the cartridge cases of the Mauser wing guns, then I began to putty the joint before joining the two upper wings in the next few days.

after some touch ups it was time for unmask all the previously painted markings and give a clear coat in preparation for some decals

Thank you very much for your trust, Neil and Moreno! I will try to take some photos of the building process, then!

Thank you a lot everybody! last xmas I bought myself a new H&S Infinity airbrush and it makes things really easier than my previous cheap ones: not automatic and I am still (and always...) on a learning curve, but I am impressed!!!

Wow, the rings do look super. Are you using any pressure reducing valve besides the compressor's?

Hi Alek, thanks! yes I have another valve just before the airbrush, that reduce the pressure further and quickly, very handy.

Fabulous work Andrea. I think you got amazing results from your old airbrushes. With the new H&S Infiniti, I am expecting even more awesomeness! 🙂
