As of last Wednesday the 6th Aug the repaint was not finished.

Yes the Macchi will be repainted as "862" with the Yellow Albatross tail as indicated in photos of the real deal.

My records show the same info as Darren however I may have gained that info from this prestigious website. I guess the FAAM knows (like 'the Shadow' only knows). :lol:

It is only a coat of paint in regard to the Macchi. Our former Skyhawks languish outdoors in New Zealand. Plenty of argybargy about that over there at the moment which will soon calm down and Kiwis will go back to grazing. :lol:
