Yes, ours is the same C.205V "Veltro" (greyhound). We have two versions modeled, the I Series (2x7,7mm and 2x12,7mm) and the III Series (2x12,7mm and 2x20mm).

Nice camo indeed ... our C.205, with early-spring 1943 camo, should have darker colours, like this one:

"And one of the finest aircraft I ever flew was the Macchi C.205. Oh, beautiful. And here you had the perfect combination of italian styling and german engineering .... it really was a delight to fly ... and we did tests on it and were most impressed." - Captain Eric Brown
