1:48 Italeri 2840 Macchi MC.202 Folgore WWII - Italian Fighter Aircraft Plastic Model kit
Build one of Italy's most famous fighter aircraft of the Second World War with the Italeri 2840 Macchi MC.202 Folgore in 1:48 scale. This completely newly tooled plastic model kit accurately recreates the elegant lines and distinctive construction of the Folgore. Operated by the Italian Regia Aeronautica, the aircraft represented a major improvement over earlier Italian fighters thanks to its streamlined design and powerful Alfa Romeo RA.1000 engine, a licence-built version of the German Daimler-Benz DB 601. With its excellent manoeuvrability, high speed and distinctive Breda-SAFAT machine-gun armament, the MC.202 played an important role in aerial combat over North Africa and the Mediterranean.
The Italeri 2840 stands out with 100% new moulds and an impressive level of detail. Its finely reproduced cockpit is enhanced with three-dimensional instrument decals and photo-etched components for a particularly realistic finish. The included masking sheet helps achieve accurate painting of the cockpit glazing, while the comprehensive Super Decals sheet offers six historical marking options. With crisp surface details, distinctive wing shapes and clear full-colour assembly and painting instructions, this kit is an attractive choice for enthusiasts of Italian military aviation and detailed Second World War dioramas.
