Aermacchi MB-326 G Reparto Sperimentale Volo - ESCI 1/48.


Recommended Posts

Good night to all!

I'm back with my last work, an Aermacchi MB-326 G from the old ESCI (now Italeri) kit in 1/48 scale. The only two aftermarkets that I used are the Neomega cockpit (very poor and inaccurate)... and the 300 litres fuel tanks from SkyModels.

This is the real one....! the Italian Air Force owned only two MB-326 G in the 70 years (RS-19 Matricola Militare 54289 & RS-20 Matricola Militare 54290), assigned to Reparto Sperimentale Volo to test & evaluate the new variant of the aircraft.

And this is the final result! painted with Alclad White Aluminium and Xtracolor X-104 International Orange. Finished with Mr.Paint Satin Varnish. Decals is a mix of Italeri, Small World Accessories & Tauromodel sheets.

Exceptional work as usual Valerio!
As I said once here on ARC,the Aermacchi trainers are the most graceful product of our aerospace industry.Just my opinion obviously,but I love'em since child,especially the 339!

P.S. My offer for a coffee is still valid...
