MC.200 "Saetta" 1:48 Italeri

[Kriss]

Hello! I know I haven’t been in the forum for a long time, but that’s how it is with me. We started a little weekend project yesterday. My wife is happy because another box is disappearing on my closet. “Saetta” straight out of the box and without additives. Only these masks I make myself for the glazing. So far, only the contents of the box. It’s a pity there aren’t any extras.

The studio isn’t finished yet, so the photos are completely finished.

The glazing is beautiful and transparent.

Painting is also chosen.

Nice choice for your latest build and will be following

Yesterday it was possible to put together the interior of the cabin and the model. As I wrote, I did the glazing of the cabin myself with TAMIYA tape.

This time I approached the camouflage a little differently, first it went yellow and after masking it grey on the underside. Then mask and green at the top and the sides went. Of course, the colors that correspond to the Italian camouflage of the Bilmodels palette.

Great work so far!  Love the MC 200.  Such a cool looking plane.

[Kriss]

The painting of camouflage continues.

WOW, cammo work looks fantastic

 

[Kriss]

Thanks, I’m still having a little fun painting.

The yellow air brush or hand like the last build?either way looks great.

[Kriss]

Painting continues, something is already visible.

[Peterpools]

Fantastic air brush work - cammo work is unreal!

Very nice Kriss, the camo came out great, you seem to have steady hands with the airbrush, chapeau. The Italians had a soft spot for delicate camo schemes. I'm actually building a WWI Lancia, used in Spain with an also weird camo pattern. 

Cheers Rob

Wow !!....harv

Well, the fun of painting the camouflage is over, now putting everything together has been done. The best fun is over.

Thanks for your kind words and the fact that you like my writings.

Cammo work came out perfect - surely is going to be a stunner.

Wow! Stunning camouflage!

[Kriss]

Now it's time for the engine along with the cowl, still clean. Once it has been valorized and nailed down, it will be mounted and one side cowl will be loose. So that something will be visible from the side.

[GazzaS]

Great paintwork!

[Peterpools]

Right with Gaz - beautiful work

That camo is amazing!  Are you using an airbrush for everything, or are you hand painting some things like the red portions?

[Kriss]

Hello Landlubber Mike
I paint almost everything with an airbrush, I use the brush mainly to paint parts such as knobs, dials, etc., and to apply pigments and nails to the model. That's it in a nutshell what I can do is airbrush. And this is the kind of kit I have to help me paint so that my hand does not shake and my eyes see everything.

[Kriss]

Work continues to move forward. I used kit decals, despite their years it laid out very nicely. They went into the recesses perfectly. Dirt came out somehow, too.  

[belugawhaleman]

Nice work! And I like the interesting subject.....cool aircraft!

[Kriss]

Slowly to the end, it remains to install the engine cover and a few small details and it will be over.
