Hasegawa, 1:48 Scale, Macchi MC.202, “Folgore” (Lightning)

Another Axis bird! I built this one, after seeing my friend Bill Koppos' build of the same model. I like the way his came out so well, I got busy on mine. I see many of these at shows, and pretty much all of them have the smoke ring [...]

1/48 Koster/Revell PB4Y-2 Privateer
