I always wanted to build an
Macchi MB-326G - named in Brazil EMB-326G Xavante - in 1/32 scale. The problem
was that there was no kit for this model in this scale. So, I decided to build
one by myself. And I did it! The model body was made entirely using balsa
wood, cianoacrilate glue, epoxi and accrilic putty. I used another kit (1/48
scale) and a lot of pictures as reference and for measuring.

The kit depicts an AT-26 Xavante in the Brazilian Air Force (BAF) colors. The paint scheme is the traditional BAF four tone South East Asia camouflage. The decals are from several FCM Decals sets. Some of specific squadron markings were home made using an inkjet printer.
