Coming Soon: Multi-piece Sand Filter for 1/32 Macchi C.202/205

[AircraftInPixels]

Update 11/27/23: Sand Filter Now Available here

 

Second round of test prints are "in the soup" as I write this. There isn't anything terribly wrong with the Italeri kit part -- except for the fact they have the flap hinged on the wrong axis  -- but the sand filter can use some super detailing so here goes! The finned cover is printed separately, alllowing the modeler to paint the filter element. (Based on my experience wrenching on Italian cars from the early postwar period, the pleated filter element will likely be made of brown, slightly fuzzy material. )

 

The set is designed to use the kit PE for th flap, albeit oriented correctly. If everything goes to plan, this should be available next week.

Being able to paint the filter element separately is more than worth the cost of the upgrade part!
