Compared to the Fiat CR.32 and Fiat CR.42 biplanes, which still formed the backbone of Italian fighter units at the beginning of World War II, the Macchi MC.200, along with its contemporary Fiat G.50, stood out for its monoplane configuration and all-metal construction. Powered by a 14-cylinder, twin-row Fiat A.74 RC.38 radial engine delivering 840 hp, the Macchi MC.200 could reach speeds of up to 500 km\/h. However, when compared to its Allied counterparts, the MC.200 proved to be underpowered and, above all, lightly armed. Its armament consisted of only two 12.7 mm Breda-SAFAT machine guns mounted above the engine’s distinctive bulged cowling. In later versions, two additional 7.7 mm Breda-SAFAT machine guns were installed in the wings. The aircraft was employed by the Regia Aeronautica on major World War II fronts, including North Africa, the Mediterranean, the Balkans, and the Eastern Front in Russia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eScale is 1:32\u003cbr\u003e\n    Size of the model is 25.8cm\u003cbr\u003e\n    Box size is 44cm x 27cm x 10.5cm\u003cbr\u003e\n    With 100% new moulds\u003cbr\u003e\n    Fasteners bag\u003cbr\u003e\n    With six version decal sheet\u003cbr\u003e\n    Includes 3D decals and masking sheet\u003cbr\u003e\n    Photo-etched fret\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Italeri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51761279107339,"sku":"2516","price":98.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1809\/4091\/files\/2516_02.jpg?v=1765084585"},{"product_id":"italeri-2519-1-32-macchi-mc-205-veltro","title":"Macchi MC.205 Veltro","description":"\u003cp\u003eSuper-detailed cockpit with 3D decals - Canopy and wheels masking sheet - Finely detailed engine and nose gun bay - Detailed landing gear with optionals wells covers - PE parts for engine, flaps, cockpit and overall detailing - Realistic panel lines and rivets - Moveable wings and tail ailerons - Open or closed flaps - Super decals sheet for 8 versions - Realistic smoke rings decals with application guide - Colored painting and decals guide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFIGURE NOT INCLUDED\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Macchi M.C. 205 Veltro is considered the best Italian fighter of World War II. The evolution of the ‘Folgore‘ retained the excellent aeronautical design of its predecessor and was equipped, like other fighters of the ‘Series 5‘, with the German Daimler-Benz DB605 engine. The powerful V12 engine, also produced under license by Fiat, allowed the Veltro to reach a maximum speed of 640 km\/h. Fast, maneuverable, and well-armed, with 2 × 12.7 mm machine guns in the nose and 2 × 20 mm cannons in the wings, it was capable of fighting on par with the best Allied fighters of the period, such as the American P-51 Mustang. It entered service with the Regia Aeronautica in the early months of 1943.

The aircraft proved to be relatively agile in flight, a factor that had been attributed to its very low wing loading and a sometimes decisive tactical advantage. RAF Intelligence praised its exceptional maneuverability, further noting that “the plane was immensely strong”, though it was technically outclassed by faster, more heavily armed monoplanes. While primarily used as a fighter, various other roles were adopted for some variants of the type, such as the CR.42CN dedicated night fighter model, the CR.42AS ground attack aircraft, and the CR.42B Biposto twin-seat trainer aircraft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCR.42AS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA close air-support version.
