1/48 Hasegawa Macchi C205s

A Pair of Macchi C205’s

Here are two 1/48 scale Hasegawa Macchi C205s that I finished a few months ago. I was inspired to build them after seeing a few articles on the C202 and C205 sent in to Aircraft Resource Center . I decided to paint them during the period that they served with the Fascists and the Co-belligerent forces at the same time.

The Hasegawa kit is excellent and went together with no major problems. I enjoy building two or three of the same kit at the a time. The Macchi C202/C205 is ideal to build in pairs because of the multitude of paint schemes (allied and axis). The kits were finished with Gunze Sangyo paints and a Future gloss overcoat.

A light weathering was then brushed on and wiped off using Q-tips allowing the color to remain in the recessed panel lines. The model was then given a semi-gloss overcoat. Tamiya smoke was used for the exhaust discoloration. Stretched sprue was used for the antenna and beads of white glue for the insulators. Now I’m looking forward to the Pacific Coast Models 1/32 scale C200/202/205 series.
