1/48 SAAF Impala MK II

April 1, 2024 · in Aviation · · 14 ≡ · 247

Here's my build of the ESCI 1/48 Aermacchi MB-326K Impala in early SAAF colors.

Really nice kit with fine recessed panel lines and a good fit. The only after market added is the Neomega resin cockpit and Wolfpack MB MK6 ejection seat as the kit's lack any details or resemblance to the real thing.

Painting was done using Hataka lacquers and sealed with a coat of Alclad II Klear Kote Matte.
