MC.202 Folgore Aces Model Kit 1:72 Aircraft

The MC.202 Folgore Aces model kit captures a key fighter from the Italian Regia Aeronautica in 1:72 scale, combining a compact aircraft format with the distinctive lines of the Macchi design. Its subject is the early Folgore, an aerodynamically refined fighter powered by the DB 601 engine built under licence in Italy, a combination that shaped the aircraft's strong wartime reputation. The historical focus goes beyond the airframe alone. This edition is tied to ace versions named in the set designation, connecting the build to individual pilots and service markings rather than presenting a generic aircraft. The Folgore was developed as a major step forward from earlier radial-engine fighters such as the Fiat G-50 and the Macchi Mc-200, and that shift is part of what gives this replica its appeal on the workbench. Early-series armament consisted of 2 Breda-SAFAT 12.7 mm machine guns mounted in the nose, while later wing gun upgrades are part of the wider development story of the type. Once assembled, the finished aircraft suits display alongside other WWII aviation subjects, especially collections centred on Mediterranean and Italian air force themes. The 1:72 format also makes it easy to place in squadron-style arrangements while still preserving the Folgore's fast, slender fighter presence. Figure not included. Age: 14 Years
