Macchi C. 205 Veltro (sorry folks thread closed)

[flyjoe180]

Probably best to stick with a Luftwaffe version. The Italian aircraft were modified for their use, I can't remember how or if it was obvious

You kindly sent me some information a few years ago Steve on these Italian Ju87 B-2/R-2 Stukas. The B-2 and R-2 versions were refurbished Luftwaffe variants.


This might be of interest to those asking about Italian Stukas over Malta: http://worldatwar.net/chandelle/v3/v3n3/articles/stuka.html


And back to the build, great choice John, I look forward to seeing this one build up.

Hi guys girls and mods


I've just come across this in my stash and was thinking it would be more in keeping and acceptable for the Malta build so the Stuka will be sidelined to a later date. I will change the thread title as soon as I get approval from one of the mods ..... I did look for some Italian markings for the Stuka but no luck. Thanks everyone for your help cheers John.


Haven't checked but was hoping the 205 would have taken part at sometime.

Hi John.


If you want to change your model for the SIG, there isn't any problem for me.


Just checked to confirm the item is correct....and you can start to build it

UPDATE !

Hi everyone although consent was given for the Stuka somehow it just didn't feel quite right as the decals from the box based the Stuka in Libya and on that basis it's been sidelined to a later date. (I did look for alternative decals)

But after a rummage through the stash I found the C.205 Veltro and this will now be my Malta build.


Thanks for all the help n advice more later .................................


Cheers John

Nice one John, are you going for the same camo on the box or was it different on Malta.

Oooo bugger seems the decals supplied don't give me the option for a Malta build think I'm going to have to call time on this before I even get out of the starting blocks Sorry folks would have been nice to take part but hey ho if the shoe doesn't fit............... Get your pipe n slippers


I'll choose another group build which isn't quite so specific I think so this one will now be closed


Thanks John

It's a shame John but these GBs are for fun, don't get stressed about it.

Lol me "stressed"Graham never I'm that laid back I have trouble standing up So everyone tells me!


I did take part in a high percentage of the GBs last year and loved every minute but this one doesn't feel right as I can't find something remotely accurate to the theme so I'll just move on n do something completely different. It ain't no big deal. I may yet find something else I'll keep looking.


Thanks John

Shame to see you pull out John


Best of luck if you can find something to replace


Kind regards
