OK, this is better. Now I can call it done. Thank you for following along like I said it was an enjoyable kit and would eventually like to add the Italeri C.205 to go next to it.

Jim, I couldn't get any sunlight pics last night since I got to the bench late but I should be able to tonight and get them up as well.

It's John by the way. Easy to make that mistake since my user name is JKim. Yes, the Hasegawa Folgore kit is a nice one. I didn't use the flaps on mine but I was able to obtain a rare detail set from Jaguar that included the rear engine plumbing that is visible from the wheel wells. It also included a resin cockpit.

Oh, sorry John and thanks. I need to get some new pics with the corrected gear door so I'll get some outdoors tonight.
I would have liked an AM cockpit but I wanted to purchase some seat belts for a 1/32 Spitfire I'm doing so I had to make a choice.

The natural sunlight shadows look very proper in that setting.

Very nice! The Macchi 202 is such a pretty airframe.

Thank you Carlos and John!
You guys are right, it does look better in natural light.
John, the C.202, 205, Cr.42 Falco as well as the Ki-84 Frank have some of the most beautiful line of the era IMO.

Couldn't agree more about the natural light photos Steve. Great work on the camo, weathering and figures. Love it man.

You're making me want to pick up another Hasegawa Macchi kit. I'd like to use the Eduard rear engine detail set.
