Fantastic looking model. The camo is brilliant.
How was the kit to build ?

I second that. Excellent camouflage. I assume you masked with childrens clay or similar before spraying?

Beautiful build - I have the same kit in my stash.

Thanks for sharing

Several works of engraving are made, The kit represents the mc 202 and the mc 205. Engrave to make the difference.

It is painted without mask " free hand"

Hi Gruso,

Very nice Folgore, I must say! I have one in my stash along with the beautiful FM detailing set. It is waiting some better times... You did wonderful job painting the camo. I would recommend that you put down few words about your build and submit the photos for the front page! I truly believe it belongs there!

All the best,
Entoni

Michel,

IMO you've achieve a perfect finish on this complex camouflage. It takes a very steady hand, talent and a perfect mix of paint to achieve it, no doubt. My sincere congratulations on a superb looking kit

Excellent job. That camouflage pattern is something else! I have to admit, though, that this is probably my favorite WWII Italian fighter. Now, if I could only find it in 1/144!

Try getting the Montex Super Mask set. They're masks that allow you to paint on the markings as well as small decals for the more intricate markings and the set contains masks for the inside and outside of the canopy as well.

A2z models carries them. I live in the USA and shipping charges are very reasonable and they ship quickly if they are in stock.
