MC202 Folgore 1/32 Italeri

[PEYSSON Gilles]

Good evening, everyone.

I am delighted to start a new step-by-step guide.
This guide will be on Italeri's 1/32 scale MC202 Folgore.

Note : As with all my models, the riveting is done by hand, point by point, using a sharp to.

I always paint with a brush, using Humbrol or Xtracolor enamel paints.

I started by modifying the wing weapons from scratch :

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note : the weapons are not yet glued on !

 

 

That's it for now.
Next steps will be assembling the DB engine.

 

Have a good evening.

Best Regards

Gilles

Good evening, everyone.
Thank you, Kenneth, Denis, and crobinsonh, for your messages. 

 

I am currently thinking about modifying the landing gear system, as I am not satisfied with Italeri's solution !
I have started assembling the DB601 engine.

 

Regarding the landing gear, I have modified the two ‘ compas ’.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Have a good evening and see you soon.
Best Regards,
Gilles
