Macchi MC.205 Veltro

This one should please Ugo. Early days still, but I also wanted to ask if anyone had detailed pictures of this crate. I already have some, as well as books, but there are never too many reference pictures.

Hmm, I will check this thread Last time 105 was shown here, we had discussion on shapes
BTW aready one comment...The exhaust cover was not the same thickness out of the fuselage...from nose to the end it was due to the roundness of the fuselage less pointing out...hope you understand

Hi Bertrand, WOW! :-D

Will send you the most accurate drawings so far. Any specific request?

I'll check the previous thread then. I want to get the shape right as early as possible, because it's much harder to correct once the work is started. Let me know what you think.

I do understand. Thanks for pointing it out. That was my impression at first but the pictures I had seemed to show constant "span". I'll correct it.

@Ugo: thanks for the files. They will be very helpful.

This will be a good one!

Cant comment on the accuracy, as I probably know even less about the type than I usually do.

I look forward to seeing it progress nonetheless.

Always wanted to do an Italian type and find myself partial to the Macchi MC.200. In fact I just added it to "the list."

Bertrand, the best walkaround on this guy I saw is here:
Macchi MC.205 Veltro, National Museum of Science and Technology Leonardo da Vinci, Milan, Italy (11 pages).
Hope it helps. Keep it up!

[JMSmith]

Thanks to all for the extra material. I've added a few hours of work to it, although it's barely visible at this scale. I've mostly been detailing the nose for the moment.

I've also corrected the exhaust shape.
