MC.200s Complete

With the last 3 MC.200s painted, the Squadrillia is now complete.

I now have 12 of these ready to go. While working on them, I also managed to finish a Lysander. The example that I had, didn't show roundels on the top of the aircraft, only the sides. I started on the second Lysander but didn't finish it. Instead of finishing the last 3 Cr.32s, I started on the four Blenheim Is. I have the base paint on them and still need the camo, markings and windows to paint.

At this point, for the desert, I have the following to finish:

Aircraft
Number
Blenheim I4
Blenheim IV3
Cr.323
Lysander1
Ro.37bis2
I may or may not paint both of the Ro.37s. I am not sure how useful they would be. There are a number of bomber that I lack a full squadrilla of for the Italians and a full squadron for the British. The Germans also lack enough Bf110s and Ju88s for a full Staffel. I am not sure that I really want to flesh these out. I want to get these done and start to work on the East Front aircraft that I have bought.

Once the Blenheims are painted, they should be in my next game.

  1. One big advantage of 1/600 is you can get them done so much quicker than 1/300 I'm working on some Ca133s, Sm81s, Cr32 and 42s for East Africa and they are a pain The B4Y1 IJNAF biplanes for Sino Jap. games are so easy with their overall aluminum scheme compared to the nifty camo on the Regia Aeronautica stuff Looking forward to more games

    1. I hear you. I had a collection of 1/300 but sold them off a while back. I'm not a good enough painter for larger scales. My italian camo schemes look more like chicken pox.
