Italeri 1/72 Scale MC.202 Folgore Aces Model Kit

Italeri 1/72 Scale MC.202 Folgore Aces Model Kit HISTORY: 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 aerodynamic perspective, it was fitted with the powerful German DB 601 engine produced under licence 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.The flight performance compared to the previous generation of fighters equipped with radial engines, such as the Fiat G-50 and the Macchi Mc-200, was, in fact, much better. Manoeuvrable and fast (it was able to reach 600 km h), it was armed, in the early versions, with two 12.7 mm Breda-SAFAT machine guns installed in the nose. Only in later versions were the armaments improved with additional machine-guns installed in the wings.   MODEL KIT SPECIFICATIONS: Scale: 1/72 Length: 12.3cm   MODEL KIT FEATURES: Part of the model line dedicated to the famous Aces of World War II The decal sheet includes five versions of Italian Aces with interesting camouflage schemes   Please note: This is a plastic model assembly kit.
