Plastic model kit for a Macchi MC.205 Veltro
Scale 1:32
3D decals for the instruments
Photo-etched parts
8 decal variants
unbuilt / unpainted
Paint and glue not included
The Macchi M.C. 205 Veltro is considered by many to be the best Italian fighter of World War II. The further development of the "Folgore" retained the excellent aerodynamic design of its predecessor and, like the other "Series 5" fighters, was equipped with the German Daimler-Benz DB605 engine. The powerful 12-cylinder V-engine, which was also manufactured under license by Fiat, enabled the Veltro to reach a top speed of 640 km/h. Fast, agile and well-armed, with two 12.7 mm machine guns in the nose and two 20 mm cannons in the wings, it was able to fight on equal terms with the best Allied fighters of the time, such as the American P-51 Mustang. It entered service with the Regia Aeronautica in the early months of 1943. After the armistice on 8 September, it was used by both the flying units of the Italian Social Republic and those of the Cobelligerante Air Force until the end of the conflict.
