Macchi MC.205 Orione

Post by Morpheus2009 » Wed Oct 07, 2009 12:28 am

Dear All


Back in the 1990s I bought a resin kit from Hannants in London of the Macchi MC.205 N Orione. Does anyone know who made this model, and does anyone have one they might be prepared to sell?


Thanks

Hi Andrew,

I just purchased one myself from a clearance sale in Spain. The kit you are refering to is made by Czech Model. The kit has a massive, semi transparent resin fuselage with wings and tail attached. The smaller parts are reproduced in a thin resin wafer.

It took me several months to track this one down, so I'm not willing to part with it (at least not yet). I plan to use it as a pattern for a conversion of the Italeri MC 205 Veltro.

Hi Peter

Well at least I know now that I'm not going mad!

I knew such a kit existed but couldn't find any reference to it on the web.

Now if I could just find one of those elusive Cunarmodel MC.207 kits as well! :)


Thanks


Andrew
