This is the 1/72 scale offering from Hasegawa, the Macchi 202. The kit went together well and the decals were pretty good too. I painted it after consulting many references on the internet. There were many color combinations and I picked one that was at least close to reference photos or color plates.

The P-47 is for comparison and is from Academy. Amazingly the decals went on pretty well for an Academy kit; I posted the Thunderbolt a couple of years ago already when I finished it. Hope you enjoy the images, although the photos could probably be better. Russell

Interesting to note the size difference.

Glad you are trying some uncommon paint schemes!

Looks good Russell. I've built the 1/48 version of Hasegawas 202 Folgore and it went together like a dream. Gotta love those Itallian camo schemes.

Thanks Fred and Hermon. The only problem I had was the wings were warped a bit downward, they didn't fit in the root area as flush as I would of liked but other than that it was a good kit. Russell
