The real subject

The Macchi MC.202 Folgore was one of the best Italian fighters of the Second World War. It was powered by an inverted V12 derived from the German Daimler-Benz DB 601 and built in Italy under license, which gave the aircraft excellent speed and handling. The Folgore made its mark over the Mediterranean, over Malta and in North Africa, where it was among the most feared opponents of the Allied fighters.

Building and painting tips

Glue the parts with thin cement for plastic and clean up the seams. Paint and highlight the cockpit before closing up the fuselage; protect the glazing with the masks supplied and fit it with canopy glue. Desert machines are typically finished in sand brown with dark blotches: after the gloss coat and the decals, accentuate the panel lines with a wash and add fine traces of dust and wear.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of Italian fighters of the Second World War
  • Anyone interested in the fighting over the Mediterranean and North Africa
  • Modelers with experience of building in 1:72 scale
  • Admirers of the elegant inline-engined fighters of the Regia Aeronautica

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
