Hi

Hope this is the correct frum board. Can anyone help with colour pics of the MC 202 cockpit. I bought the 1/48 Jaguar cockpit and the colour instructions are very poor / non existent.

thanks

Hi Shane!

The cockpit was in VAC (Verde Anti-Corrosione, transl: light green..Take a look the colour reference in this site)..

The front panel was in black/grey..

The seat (the pics below is wrong) was in alluminium grey..

Hi Shane

Remember to paint in black opaque internal structure (frames) of the
cockpit.
For Macchi 202/205

Hi Henry!
Do you mean cockpit or canopy?

For C.202/202, with regard to the interior of the canopy frames, of absolute certainty, I say that there are none yet..

While it is true that the internal frames of C.200 produce by Macchi were blacks, while those produce by Breda (or SAI-Ambrosini) was in VAC ..
For C.202/205 there are indeed many more photographic evidence that shows them in black than those in "VAC"..
But in my opinion, there are no absolutes yet..
We should understand why the two factories (three with SAI-Ambrosini) on C.200 them painted in different colors, while with C.202/C.205 had (perhaps?) changed that custom..

Hi Daniele

Sorry! Intendevo dire canopy, è il mio pessimo inglese.
Hai ragione , siamo nel campo delle teorie, è comunque una tesi che mi
convince (velivoli di costruzione Macchi )
