Well, this is my second time at ARC, and this time I will show you my 1/32 scale Macchi 200 from Pacific Coast Models.  This is a multi-media kit, what means that it has plastic (short run), photo etch and resin parts.  I had a hard work when I put the wings together with the fuselage it was a nightmare, but after some work it was ready for the airbrush as you can see at these pictures:

I used Model Master enamels for the Italian colors except for the interior colors that I used Humbrol enamels.  I decided to represent the aircraft flown by one of the top Italian aces of World War Two, his name was Franco Lucchini.  The decals came with six different options, but Franco´s plane wasn´t there, so I used some spare decals and painted others... 

Well, now let me take my 1/32 Pacific Coast MC202 Folgore, I will try it too!

I hope you all like it

Thanks.
