Here's a
revolutionary idea that is so obvious, but not produced before now. These
new decals will permit you to produce those complicated soft edge Italian smoke
ring markings made famous on the Macchi 202/205. Mike
Grant Decals is
famous for their decals and these Alps printed markings are a blessing for
anyone lacking the high level of skill with an airbrush that is necessary to do
the complicated smoke ring markings on Italian aircraft. Because these are
Alps printed decals you will be required to cut the decals from the clear decal
sheet but this is not an issue.....just something for you to be aware of.
I saw this aircraft (see photos below) at a model show in Calgary earlier this
year and I was completely shocked to learn these were decals and not
airbrushed.......the quality is VERY high and the edges of the smoke rings have
a lovely soft edge just like the 1/1 scale aircraft.
These decals
are available from the Mike
Grant Decals website.
Go there and pick them up for your next Macchi 202/205 project....you will not
be disappointed.
