Royal Egyptian Air Force, 2 Squadron, Egypt 1948
I was inspired to get this model after reading an article on the 1/72 version of this aircraft in Scale Aviation Modeller International. Hasegawa's C.205 Veltro is a fantastic kit! The detail is excellent; the fit very good. The boxing I have comes with Aeromaster decals for a couple of Egyptian Veltros from the immediate post-war period, and beautiful they are. I know that there is controversy regarding the colours of the REAF Macchis and the exact shape of the camouflage pattern; what you see is my best-guess and may not be right. The finish is Humbrol enamel followed by Klear, oil wash, decals and Matt Cote. No aftermarket was used and I finished this kit in the Autumn of 2001.
