Some notes about the model
This is the 1:48 scale Macchi MC 200 from PCM, a modified a little to represent the plane of Guisseppe Biron when he flew with the 369° squadriglia on the Russian front. The directives of Tavola X are applied, namely Verde oliva scurro above with spots in Nocchiola chiaro and the lower part in griggio Azzuro chiaro. The yellow marks are in conformity with the tactical markings of the Russian Front. Biron is the author of the "spauracchio" artwork (scarecrow) that was also present on Re-2005s. The landing gear was shortened for a better sit of the aircraft, the landing gear bay has been equipped with its pipes and cables. The side doors of the cockpit are missing since I await the precise details on the type used on this plane.

Very nicely done! The camo turned out very well, and even though this isn't my favorite Macchi, it sure is a beauty. -YL
