About product

The real subject

The Macchi MC.200 Saetta is an Italian single-seat fighter with which the Regia Aeronautica entered the Second World War. The early production batches had the cockpit covered by glazing; later machines lost it and flew with an open cockpit, because pilots preferred the view and the habit they had from biplanes. The Saetta was considered an agile and sturdy machine, but it lagged behind its opponents in armament and speed. It was used over the Mediterranean, over the Balkans and on the Eastern Front.

What the set contains

Photo-etched parts in thin sheet metal. The thickness of the etch matches the places where the real subject is sheet metal or a small grille and where a plastic part necessarily comes out thicker. The parts stay on the carrier sheet until the last moment, held there by thin tabs.

Building and painting tips

  • Separate the parts with a sharp blade on a hard surface, not with nippers.
  • Make the bends in a bending tool or over the edge of a ruler, so that the edge does not stay rounded.
  • Glue the metal parts with cyanoacrylate glue applied in the smallest possible amount.
  • Degrease the metal before painting and apply a primer, otherwise the paint will not hold.
  • With an open cockpit the interior is permanently on view, so finish it before you close the fuselage.

Who it is for

For modelers who build Italian machines of the Second World War and want detail in scale even where plastic would look coarse. It assumes experience of working with tweezers and a steady hand.

The package contains photo-etched parts. The kit, the paints and the glue are not included, unless stated otherwise.
