1:32 Macchi MC.200 Saetta

The Macchi MC.200, designed by the famous engineer Mario Castoldi, represented a major development in Italian fighter aircraft production. Compared with the Fiat CR.32 and Fiat CR.42 biplanes, which still formed the backbone of Italian fighter units at the start of the Second World War, the Macchi MC.200, along with its contemporary the 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. Compared with its Allied counterparts, however, the MC.200 proved to be underpowered and, above all, lightly armed. Its armament consisted of just two 12.7 mm Breda-SAFAT machine guns mounted above the engine's characteristic bulging cowling. In later versions, two additional 7.7 mm Breda-SAFAT machine guns were installed in the wings. The aircraft was used by the Regia Aeronautica on major fronts during the Second World War, including North Africa, the Mediterranean, the Balkans and the Eastern Front in Russia.
