quang Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 (edited) Folks, I found these recent pics on the Italeri website. I agreed the pics could be of better resolution but it’s enough to whet one’s appetite and keep the wallet ready. Looks like it’s only the late variant in this boxing. I keep looking for the telltale tropical filter but cannot find it (maybe, you would). Also I’m not completely convinced about the flattened wheels. Well, let’s wait and see. So, calling all experten, grab your red sharpie and get busy. We need some entertainment while waiting for the postman.

paul fisher Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Quote Looks like a good effort to allow a lot of detail, but no way to tell if the parts can deliver on the promise from such low resolution pics.I am cautiously optimistic! Looking forward to seeing this up close, I love the airplane and we can only hope to see more soon. quang 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark P Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 I believe the other Macchi thread here on LSP had narrowed this down to a late series aircraft. Mark Proulx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevertheless with these pics, we can see how the original lay-out of the kit and how we can manage to tweak and modify it. Then I say it again: NOT fond of these flat tyres.

Mark Proulx Yes, based on the 3D renderings which were previously published. But now we have the material proof. Still for the poached egg lovers, backdating the kit to the series 3 shouldn’t be too difficult Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the tropical filter is on the sprue with the fuselage, far right, just above the top fuselage covers, in two parts, maybe a third is missing..?

Mark P Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 I am only seeing a single tailplane. Top and bottom, left and right sides made up of four parts and one piece elevators, left and right. Mark Proulx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark P Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 (edited) Yes, you are correct. All the sprue shots were not presented to this thread. Mark Proulx Edited July 17, 2023 by Mark P Grammar quang 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
