1/32 Macchi C.202 Parts for Italeri

(1/4) > >>

A bit O/T, but I have released three sets of parts for the much-maligned (imo somewhat unfairly) Italeri Macchi C.202.

Probably the most egregious fault of the kit is the spinner, which appears to have been modeled after the specimen in the Italian Air Force Museum -- which, unfortunately, is completely bogus, being a highly modified C.205 Veltro unit:

Our correction on the right:

and above:




The kit control surfaces are ... just bad. The "rib tape" detail is way overdone, the starving cow effect is strong, and small details like the drain holes / grommets are awol.

kit parts vs ours:







as shipped:


Finally, the wheels and especially the tires lack detail and convincing load bulges.

Released 11/27/23 -- four part tropical dust filter for the Macchi C.202 in 1/32. Separate fins (like the original) allow the visible filter element to be painted by the modeler...

...another one to acquire. That kit can be turned into a BMF!!

The filter and all the other accessories look excellent.
Each of these parts is a way towards even more originality.

I'm looking forward to the wing radiator for the Wingnut LVG, Bo.  8)

As a footnote, the latest Model Airplane International has a build of the kit
