Italian Job, Macchi C.202/C.205 in international service is a decal sheet in 1:72 scale from the Turkish brand Tiger Head Models. It is not a kit but a set of markings for an already built model of the Italian fighter.
Responsibility details are not available.
A decal sheet in 1:72 scale devoted to the Italian Macchi C.202 and C.205 fighters and their users outside Italy. It is an accessory for a plastic kit, not a model of an aircraft: the sheet brings national insignia, tactical numbers and accompanying lettering with which a model gets a particular identity. Tiger Head Models is a Turkish maker of decal sheets and resin accessories that concentrates on the less usual users of well-known types. The manufacturer's catalog gives the particular composition of the schemes and the range of service lettering.
The Macchi C.202 Folgore came about by fitting a liquid-cooled inverted V12 engine into an airframe derived from an older fighter with a radial engine. The improvement in performance was marked and the type became the backbone of Italian fighter aviation in the Second World War period. The following C.205 Veltro got a more powerful powerplant and heavier armament and was among the best Italian fighters of all. Both types reached further users during the war and after it, so the same airframe appears in strikingly different camouflage and markings — and that is exactly what this sheet draws on.
Decals hold best on a smooth glossy base, so coat the places under the motifs with a gloss varnish first and let it cure thoroughly. Slide the motif off its backing paper in water, seat it on the model, soak the surplus water up and add a setting solution. A decal softener helps the decal flow around rivets and engraved lines, so that it does not look like a sticker. At the end, go over the whole model with a matte or semi-matte varnish — that makes the glossy outline of the carrier film disappear.
This is a standalone decal sheet. The kit, paints, varnishes and a decal softener are not included in the package.
