Italeri 2516S Macchi MC.200 Saetta in 1/32 scale

This 1/32 scale plastic model represents the Macchi MC.200 Saetta and is supplied for builders seeking a sizable propeller fighter subject that rewards careful surface work and display finishing.

The Macchi MC.200 Saetta was a single-seat Italian fighter designed by Mario Castoldi in the late 1930s for the Regia Aeronautica. Powered by a radial engine, it entered service prior to the Second World War and saw use in Mediterranean and North African theatres. The MC.200 earned a reputation for agility while later, heavier fighters eventually superseded it on the front line.

At 1/32 scale the model gives extra room for panel line work and cockpit detailing compared with smaller kits. Assembly uses standard modelling techniques and supplies such as adhesive, putty and hobby paints. The larger scale makes it practical for weathering and display-ready finishes. Many builders add aftermarket instruments, seat harnesses and brass or resin details to raise realism, but compatibility will depend on the specific aftermarket set chosen.

A substantial scale plastic kit of the Macchi MC.200 Saetta that suits modellers focused on accurate external surfaces and a strong display presence. The scale supports extra detailing and careful finishing work.
