Macchi Mc 200 Revell 1/72
Hello Everyone
This project took a little more time than i expected.
A very known model from 70’s, model I am extremely fond of, because it was the first model which my father made for me and introduced me to this hobby. I decided that I will do the same version, without any additional details in same colors and markings, just for him. I decided and … after almost 40 years I finished it…but in different way:
Engraved, a complete cabin with instruments made (known only to me and impossible to see), completed made landing gear bay, replaced propeller with one from hobby boss, used Italery colors, for wash and shades used artistic oil paints, markings sky-model … if I remember well … and that’s it, almost from the box 🙂
Not to bother you more, another model old almost as me is done. I hope you like it
Best regards

A small miracle of great work on this small old kit. I remember building it too, and your result is just fantastic. A silk purse out of a sow’s ear for sure.

If you hadn’t said it was the old Revell 1/72, I would have thought it was a modern 1/48. Strong work, looks outstanding!

Thank you all on nice words. I am quite old and even i can not say that i do not like new molds with beautiful crisp details, those oldies have some additional, sentimental dimension, which i must admit…..i can not avoid.
Best regards , Djordje

An excellent build! I love building those old kits and bringing them to life, as you’ve done here!
