1/48 Macchi MC.200 Saetta

Italian Air Force Thunderbolt

The Italian Air Force sought to reinforce its aircraft strength in 1936 and one of the designs which was adapted had been Macchi&39;s MC.202 Saetta. This fighter ended up being running on a 870hp Fiat A.74 R.C.38 radial engine and was capable of a maximum rate of 503km/h. It initially had an enclosed cockpit, but this was changed to a semi-open kind which supplied better pilot exposure during manufacturing. The raised cockpit position additionally offered the Saetta a unique appearance. They began equipping devices in 1939 and debuted in battle over France in June 1940. Although these people were gently armed with only two 12.7mm machine weapons, these were really manueverable and were eventually always good impact from the Mediterranean to Russia. The MC.200 was also notable for being the predecessor of later on, more effective Italian fighters like MC.202 and MC.205.
