Here is my second C.202. My first was in 1/72 scale by Italeri, but this is the 1/32 scale Pacific Coast Models kit.

There is no doubt about this one, it is more accurate & impressive thanks to its large scale.

The kit is quite complete, but a good documentation is almost necessary, specially for the undercarriage area if you want a good representation of the plumbing, engine bearers, electrical wires, etc.

The kit needs some preparation and test fitting at each step; adjusting, gluing & sanding. It is quite normal to need this higher level of work for a short run mould. Once this preparation has been done, the kit is relatively simple to build up.

I used Humbrol paints, which I had to custom mix for the stone shade & underside blue.

Hope you enjoy.
