baffozac Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 My Macchi 200 built with a little help from my friends and months of patience, most of the parts had to be scratched : For example the engine.

Troy Molitor Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Love the PCM Italian offerings. Well done. The engine is amazing. I’d like to see more pictures if possible? Thanks for sharing your build with us Troy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Ray Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Very nice! I echo the call for more pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baffozac Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share Posted April 15, 2019 (edited) Ok for more pics, but as I started this it when it came out (may be more than 12 years ago) a lot of pics are not digital, as that of the engine, sorry. PCM Macchi 200 is a very good kit in shapes and dimensions, but for me, poor in details. Start at the front of the plane: The propeller hub: left part are mine, right the kit one. Copies in resin, if one day I decide to make another, not tomorrow ! The propeller: not perfect in shape and too flat. Down is the firing mecanism through the propeller, not in the kit. A coat of Alclad to verify the moulding The beginning of painting and weathering.

baffozac Posted April 17, 2019 Author Share Posted April 17, 2019 More pics, The oil radiator, actually it's the only part I kept from the front of the kit (propeller, motor, cowl, etc.) It was carved to put the 14 reinforcements. To allow cylinder heads to exceed, a new cowl is made in 0,3 mm plastic card. And hollow bumps with a small border, because on the real aircraft it was separate parts. The cowl flaps and the exhausts with trumpet shaped exit. Tnarg, tomaszhajzler, AceofClubs and 5 others 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baffozac Posted April 20, 2019 Author Share Posted April 20, 2019 Some more pics: On the left my motor, on the right in the kit....... This comparison is, unfortunately, symptomatic of all the detail of the kit. The carburetor after some hours. Paint and light weathering.
