Hello,

I'm quite a newbie around, being registered since a while, but haven't posted anything yet.

Here are a few pics of my last completed model, the 21st Century Toys macchi 205. It is mostly out of the box, with exception of the prop and spinner, because the kit provided ones are Macchi 202 type. I made a resin copy of the Pacific Coast Model kit prop and spinner.

I left un touched the main wheels which are too small.

Comments and critics most welcome
Hope you'll enjoy.

Cheers

Bella machina!

nice build Stef .. did this also have the large holes for the screws like their 109s (IIRC)?

I like the paint job a lot .. looks like RLM 74/75/76 nice weathering too

all the best ... and welcome to aeroscale

Bonjour Stef,

Bienvenue sur Aeroscale! C'est bien de voir des Frenchies de temps en temps!

The paint job is indeed top class!

Hi Stef

Welcome aboard! That's really nice work! It's odd how 21st Century missed the spinner etc. - they're in the photos of a built-up model on the kit's box (it makes you wonder whether that might actually be the Pacific Coast version...)

All the best

Rowan

Hello Boys, thanks to you all and for your kind words.

Yes the kit had these awful holes for the scres, and I had to fill it with Tamiya 2 component expoxy.

And the scheme looks so much like RLM 74/75/76, because it IS

Jean-Luc, merci pour l'accueil ! J'ai bien aimé ton montage de Ki-45

And, Rowan, I guess that 21st din't wanted to modify tooling more, as they had the 202 in their range previously; a close look to the pic on the box side trends to confirm that the pictured kit is most certainly the PCM.

Cheers to all an thanks again for the welcoming words
