Italeri 2815 - 1/48 MC.200 Saetta Precision Scale Kit  [IT-2815S]

Italeri 1/48 MC.200 Saetta - Close study of a classic WWII fighter

The Italeri 1/48 MC.200 Saetta kit gives scale modellers a hands-on way to recreate one of Italy's notable World War II fighters. The Macchi C.200 Saetta earned a reputation for agility and toughness in Mediterranean operations. This Italeri release presents those traits in plastic form with careful surface detail that suits both display and diorama projects.

Origins and key design traits

First flown around 1939, the MC.200 Saetta combined a sturdy airframe with nimble handling. The Italeri moulding highlights the aircraft's radial engine cowling and the open cockpit layout. Visible panel lines and rivet work add realism, making the finished model more convincing on the shelf or at shows.

Assembly notes and display uses

The Italeri 1/48 MC.200 Saetta is aimed at builders seeking a moderate challenge. Parts are well formed to help achieve neat joins without excessive rework. When painted and finished, the kit makes an attractive historical piece suitable for single-aircraft displays or mixed WWII collections.
