Italeri 1/48 MC.200 Saetta - Recreating an Italian WWII fighter

The Italeri 1/48 MC.200 Saetta kit enables modelmakers to reproduce an authentic example of the Macchi C.200 Saetta. Known for its manoeuvrability in wartime operations, the MC.200 is captured here with careful attention to the aircraft's external shape and surface detail, making it a solid choice for history-focused builds.

Period role and design highlights

Entering service in the late 1930s, the MC.200 combined compact construction with responsive controls. The Italeri kit mirrors these features, showing the radial engine housing, cockpit opening and realistic skin detail. Those features help the assembled model convey the original aircraft's character.

Construction tips and presentation

This Italeri 1/48 MC.200 Saetta is aimed at modellers who prefer accurate fitting parts and clear detail. The components are engineered for tidy assembly, with realistic panel lines that respond well to weathering and finishing techniques. The completed model works well as a stand-alone display or within a Mediterranean theatre scene.
