{"product_id":"italeri-1-48-mc-202-folgore-2840","title":"Italeri 1:48 MC.202 Folgore - 2840","description":"The Macchi MC 202 Folgore represented a significant innovation for the fighter units of the Regia Aeronautica. Exceptionally beautiful from an aerodynamic point of view, it was equipped with the powerful German DB 601 inline engines produced under license by the Italian aeronautical industry. The new powerplants and the strength of the aircraft’s design provided the Regia Aeronautica with a fighter capable of engaging Allied fighters on equal terms. Flight performance, compared with fighters of the previous generation equipped with radial engines such as the Fiat G-50 and the Macchi MC-200, was considerably better. Manoeuvrable and fast (it could reach 600 km\/h), the early versions were armed with two 12.7 mm Breda-SAFAT machine guns mounted on the nose. Only in later versions was the armament enhanced to make it more suitable for aerial combat against American and British fighters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale is 1:48\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize of the model is 18.4cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeveloped under licence of Aeronautica Militare\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% new moulds with super decal sheet, 3D decals, and photo-etched fret\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndividual box size is 34.5 x 24.2 x 4.8cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarton quantity is 16 and EAN is 8001283028400\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1:48\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Assembly Kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubject:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aircraft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Italian\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1939-1945 - World War II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Italeri\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct code:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2840\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eSupplied unassembled and unpainted.
