SARFlytitus Posted June 16 Posted June 16 (edited) This is just for fun... or for some of the "what if" lovers I've skinned some Macchi 202 Folgores pretending to be their big brothers Mc 205 Veltros which formed the first nucleus of the newly formed "Aeronautica Nazionale Repubblicana" or ANR towards the end of 1943 and the beginning of 1944. A handful of pilots who remained loyal to the Fascist Regime of Benito Mussolini tried to counter the continuous and insistent raids of the thousands of Allied aircraft that had as their target the Nazi-Fascist industrial and military infrastructures of Northern Italy. The 1st Fighter Group "Asso di Bastoni" composed of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Squadrons operated with the Mc 205 Veltro and Fiat G-55 before switching to the late Messerschmitt 109 G in january 1945. The skins are as far as possible, historically accurate and based on the (very few) wartime photos. The real inaccuracy is given by the (few) structural differences, mainly concentrated in the nose, between the Folgore and the Veltro that mounting the DB605 had required a partial redesign of the cowling, a different configuration of the oil radiator, a more rounded nose cone and, above all, the adoption of two 20mm cannons in the wings while maintaining the 2 Breda -Safat 12.7mm in the fuselage. https://www.mediafire.com/file/p9okxwuhf232c9x/Veltro2Sq1GrANR_2-1_MARINONI_Late.dds/file https://www.mediafire.com/file/8v7dyg2z71jlchv/Veltro3Sq1Gr_ANR_1-3.dds/file https://www.mediafire.com/file/vek3t1ydwddjlxl/Veltro2Sq1Gr_ANR_2-3.dds/file https://www.mediafire.com/file/ositpegsrmqgxpi/Veltro2Sq1Gr_ANR_2-5.dds/file Edited June 16 by SARFlytitus 5
