My Macchi C.200 in progress

My reference.  

The start! 

Internal colour in "verde anti corrosione" 

The finished inner parts. The original seat is awful, but I don't have an aftermarket and I'm a "classic modeller" 🙂 

Worked a bit on the weel bay, adding some details  

Painting: upper side: verde oliva scuro, downside: grigio azzurro chiaro 

"Fasci" were removed and fuselage manually overpainted with a similar colour... 

Applying old Tauro decals: they are very very good! 

Made an error on the right roundel...no problem, I'll correct with a fine brush  

I've finished applying decals, ready for some washing 🙂 

After sone washes with oil and a summer break, I resumed the work applying the undercarriage. 

The original propeller of the kit is TOTALLY wrong. It has a different form from the original. In particular, it has a nose cone that was present only on the prototypes.

I searched in my stash and I found that the H-75 propeller was the best substitute.
I have to remove the front part and work a bit on the rear.
The final result is good for me.
I have still to finish the painting. 

Applying the spinner, the canopy and the antenna.

Some problems in cutting the Falcon canopy, but it's worth it! 

Just missing a final matt finish. 

I'm quite happy, it's one of my best models until now.

I have to improve still on lots of techniques, but I'm quite satisfied! 

A look on the landing gear bay 

Finally, in my display case!
(YES, I must clean the glass...)
