Macchi C.205 Veltro - Przemyslaw Skulski - MMP books

[barkhorn]

The latest release from Mushroom Model Publications covers the neat Italian WW2 fighter, Macchi C.205 Veltro. Przemysław Skulski prepared yet another useful source of information for both the modeller and aircraft afficionado, filled with mostly sharp and crips period photos (inc. a few in colour), a set of scale drawings in 1/48 and 1/72 scale (featuring the rivet detail), and a great section devoted to the museum exhibits, which features numerous walkaround-type pictures supplemented with drawings taken from the aircraft manuals. The main text discusses the development of Veltro and its service with various domestic and foreign users, including a description of camouflage and markings applied to their machines. The latter is supplemented with no less than 18 pages of colour profiles showing the variery of liveries carried by the C.205. All this makes this book a handy reference on this somehow forgotten aircraft, especially recommended for the scale modellers. Video preview by the publisher:

Have just edited to provide a live link, looks like a must have book, especially for the colour profiles.

 

Chris Busbridge produced a set of Veltro decals, pity no one did any for the herringbone scheme.

  Dear Barkhorn, good afternoom.

 

 This book is your? If yes, can you help me with information about Egypt Macchis? I will finish my plastic model but I have doubts about the camouflage so, if you can, is possible send to me the text about Egyptian camo?

 

  Thanks a lot,

  Claudio
