Thunnus Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 I've always loved the Folgore/Veltro airframe. This will be good prep as some of us wait for the Italeri Folgore kit to be released! scvrobeson and Gazzas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce_Crosby Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 (edited) I've got the PCM C.200, C.202 and C.205 kits, as well as the Re 2005 and the G-55. Three Special Hobby G-50 kits too. All of them buildable, except I can't find the colour sheet or decals for the G-55. However, there's a set of Montex masks in the box, plus I've got the Cameo 3 to make my own if needed. Still be buying the Italeri kits though! You all know my work pace, so you might see some movement about 2030.

chrish Posted July 7, 2023 Author Share Posted July 7, 2023 standing on the shoulders of those who've built the kit before me, I've scraped thin the fuselage sides and have attached the resin cockpit side walls to the fuselage contrary to the build recommendation suggested by PCM of building the cockpit and installing it to the fuselage. a test fit shows it's possible to slip the cockpit floor into the assembled fuselage from the wing opening. As well, the radiator relief in the wing was sanded to a see through thickness as well as the bottom of the floor of the cockpit to allow fitment of the wing to the fuselage. Work is going slower than usual due to having my 6 year old granddaughter visiting for the last couple of weeks allowing for about an hour or two of bench time each night after tucking her in. progress...slow but, progress Thanks for looking Greg W, MikeMaben, Phantom2 and 16 others 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Nice progress, Chris. An hour or two each night? Man, I'd kill for that! Kev Borsos and chrish 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dennismcc Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Looks typical PCM, but with care they do build up nicely. Cheers Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s00ntir Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 PCM kits are definitely buildable. I'll keep my fingers crossed! I'll be the next one to build Mc-205! Gazzas, amurray, Rick Griewski and 15 others 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrish Posted July 11, 2023 Author Share Posted July 11, 2023 A bit of time and putty has allowed me to close up thefuselage, not much in the way of progress but I'll take it Thanks for looking MikeMaben, Paul in Napier, Rocat and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dennismcc Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Well for me that would be the one of the hard parts over with, so onward to the next hard part ! Cheers Dennis chrish and MikeMaben 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Eagle Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Okay, I bit the bullet this weekend. There was a PCM 202 kit at the LHS this weekend that I picked up very reasonably!! I noticed parts included for the 205. I’ll do a 205. Will enjoy your take on the build. chrish and s00ntir 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
