I haven't been posting much in the forums here due to embarking on an Italian adventure with this Macchi C.202. This one was flown by Duilio Fanali who was a veteran of the Spanish Civil war and flew in Libya before finding himself on Sicily flying bomber escort missions to Malta. He flew this plane from October 1942 until April 1943 when his unit upgraded to the C.205. He is credited with 4 victories and, I believe, 32 assists. He was the commander of his unit on Sicily. He survived the war and served in the Italian air force until the 1970s.
The kit is very nicely done with few parts, but still builds into good looking model. I have enhanced a few details as I can't build anything OOB. I used aftermarket resin wheels and an Eduard wheel well kit as there is a lot of visible detail up there like the FW190 has. The Stormo decals I used are excellent.
If you are interested in doing a WW2 Italian subject, check out the Stormo Magazine online for reference info - very good
I'll be continuing my Italian adventure with a Fiat CR.42, which, while not WW1, does have 2 wings.
