Features 100% New Moulds - Aeronautica Militare 100th Anniversary with PE Parts and cockpit 3D Decals - 2 Super Decals Sheet. The introduction of the Macchi MC 202 Folgore was a significant development for the fighter squadrons of the Italian Regia Aeronautica. Stylishly designed from an aerodynamical perspective, it was fitted with the powerful German DB 601 engine produced under license by the Italian aeronautical industry. The engine and overall aeronautical performance of the aircraft provided the Regia Aeronautica with a fighter capable of actively engaging Allied fighters. Flight performance was superior to previous fighters, such the Fiat G-50 and the Macchi Mc-200, which were equipped with radial radial engines. Both Manoeuvrable and fast (up to 600 km/h), it was armed, in the early versions, with two 12.7 mm Breda-SAFAT machine guns installed in the nose. In later versions, the armaments improved with additional machine-guns installed in the wings. Size of the model: 27.6cm.
