Large-scale plastic kit of the Italian Macchi MC.202 Folgore fighter in 1:32 scale from Italeri. A new mold with a finely detailed cockpit, engine and photo-etched parts.
Responsibility details are not available.
Injection-molded plastic kit of the best-known Italian fighter of the Second World War in 1:32 scale. It is a completely new mold from Italeri, built to present-day standards: a richly detailed cockpit supplemented with 3D decals, a well-rendered engine and machine gun bay in the nose, landing gear with optional covers, and a set of photo-etched parts (engine, flaps, cockpit, small fittings). In this scale you get a model of a size that deserves a place in the display case, and at the same time a scale in which every detail and every flaw in the surface can be seen.
The Macchi MC.202 Folgore (lightning) came about through an elegant solution: the designers took the airframe of the older MC.200 and fitted it with the Daimler-Benz DB 601 inverted V12 engine, built in Italy under license. The result was a slim, pointed nose, markedly better aerodynamics and a speed of over 600 km/h. The Folgore thus ranked among the best Italian fighters of its day, and in the hands of experienced Regia Aeronautica pilots it was an even match for Allied types. Early versions carried a pair of 12.7 mm Breda-SAFAT machine guns in the nose. The later MC.205 Veltro development used the more powerful DB 605.
Build the model with liquid cement for plastic, which is drawn into the joints by capillary action; in this scale coarse deposits of glue show mercilessly. Finish and paint the engine and the cockpit before you close the fuselage. Glue the photo-etched parts with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue). Sand the surface carefully and spray primer before painting, because it reveals scratches and unfilled gaps. The Italian camouflage with its typical smoke ring mottling is ideal work for an airbrush; put a gloss coat under the decals and unify the surface with a matte coat at the end.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
