It took a while but the painting is finished. I know the smoke clouds came out a bit too big but I think I have a way to paint them. The next time I paint it like this I will test it. For now I need to see if I need to do any touch-ups etc.
-
And now the best fun that can be, which is painting the smoke clouds. After painting them with masks, I'm back to painting them free-hand.
-
There was a fight against the pettiness and this is the result.
-
The red stripe is already painted and masked. The underside is also already in colour. Before I start painting the top in camouflage I will have some fun with the rest of the parts.
-
Masking continues.
-
I use a 4000 gradation foundation, for me it's perfect.
-
Primer laid as well as the white belt too.
-
What can I write other than playing with LEGO bricks to catch geometry.
-
Italian aircraft have always appealed to me, especially their camouflages. I'm also quietly working on a G.50 in 32, but you'll have to be patient before I post a report on its construction on the forums.
-
Slowly moving forward, we are already seeing some results.
-
The interior of the cabin is now complete, if it goes well it may be possible to put the fuselage together today.
-
I decided to improve my mood after painting smoke clouds with masks on MC.205 "Veltro". So I rummaged out of the closet the model MC.202 "Fogore" in 1:48 also from Hasegawa. A model known for years, it will also immediately workshop. From the extras it is only the pilot's belts from EDUARD.
-
Another model completed, so it's time to start another model. After the camouflage painting masks, this is the effect I expected. And I am not satisfied with the result obtained. There was a moment when I even felt like repainting it. And instead of wasting time repainting it, the "Veltro" stays as it is and I will make myself a "Folgore" in camouflage with smoke clouds painted by hand. Coming back to the model, the masks are "some" alternative it is a pity that the manufacturer scaled them down. They are simply too big and, in addition, have to be properly cut out taking into account the wings and stabilisers. But coming back the MC.205 "Veltro" is completed and depicts the machine used by II./JG 77, Luftwaffe, 1943.

For now I am cutting out the frames of the skeleton, when something is there I will take a photo.
-
The last ship I built was ORP "Garland" from MM, and that was in 1986. At that time the ship was in a uniform gray paint job and here suddenly appeared the same version and in camouflage. And so something touched me, nostalgia as I saw in the display case of this already aged gray ORP "Garland" from my childhood days, that I decided to build it again and that is in camouflage. What and how it will come out of it we will see at the finish. And now the shipyard is moving.
-
Just cosmetics more and you will be able to see "Veltro" in the gallery.
-
Decals applied and pre-decals on the model are also already there. Slowly to the end, and the next ones are already waiting in the queue.
-
I painted this camouflage from masks out of curiosity, however, I prefer free-hand painting as it comes out more realistic. I once built such a "Veltro".
-
Camouflage painting with masks completed, as it came out you can see in the photos. I, for one, am not entirely satisfied with the result obtained, and how do you see it? Hand-painted they come out very realistic, but it is also time-consuming to apply such camouflage.
-
What should I write? The pictures show everything. The mask great but , well there is just a small but because it does not hold the scale. It's bigger than the model, I've been fiddling a bit with how to apply it and the best option is to cut the masks from the fuselage into several parts and apply them that way. I did so and the effect is below. An interesting addition.
-
So the painting continues and there is a beautiful Italian camouflage left to do. I was already doing free-hand so I decided to change things up and used masks to paint the smoke clouds. Just out of curiosity how they would come out. I hesitated whether it was worth it and acquired such a kit from LF Models dedicated to Macchi MC.205Veltro Camouflage Painting Mask Model: M4811. And this is how it looks, we will see how it fits and how the camouflage will come out.
-
Forgive me, but I scored a gaff, I did not take a picture of the camouflage from underneath. It escaped me. As a consolation, I upload a photo after masking.
-
I made some small parts at the ready.
-
The model is ready for painting, all the parts are in place and the undercarriage recesses are masked as well as the cabin. And this is the mazurka I did before laying down the color.

"Veltro" is slowly taking shape, reliable LEGO bricks are always helpful.
