Macchi MC.202 Folgore Aircraft Model Kit

Italeri 1/48 scale kit of the Macchi Mc 202 Folgore. This model represented a significant innovation for the fighter units of the Regia Aeronautica. It was equipped with German Db 601 inline engines, produced under license by the Italian aeronautical industry. The new powerplants and the strength of the aircraft's design provided the Regia Aeronautica with a fighter capable of engaging Allied fighters on equal terms. Flight performance, compared with fighters of the previous generation equipped with radial engines such as the Fiat G-50 and the Macchi MC-200, was better. Maneuverable and fast, it could reach 600 km/h.
