ITA1439 MACCHI MC.202 FOLGORE WWII ITALIAN FIGHTER 1/72 SCALE
DESCRIPTION:
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 license 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.
