We present the Hobby 2000 72008 Macchi MC.202 Folgore 370 Squadriglia, Italy 1943 plastic model kit in the popular 1/72 scale. This model allows for a faithful recreation of one of the most important Italian fighters of World War II, designated as the aircraft of the 370th Squadron, used in 1943 in the Italian theater of war.

Macchi MC.202 Folgore was the undisputed pride of the Regia Aeronautica, the Italian Air Force during World War II. Its silhouette was well recognized thanks to its elegant lines and the characteristic air intake under the nose. The design was derived from the earlier MC.200 model and was created to confront modern Allied aircraft. This machine took part in numerous air battles over the Mediterranean Sea, North Africa, and in the defense of Italy, especially between 1941 and 1943. Pilots appreciated the fighter for its excellent maneuverability and solid construction.

The presented set from Hobby 2000 is based on precise sprues produced by Hasegawa (no. 51302 AP2), renowned in the modeling market for high-quality molds. The kit includes excellent decals produced by the famous Cartograf company, ensuring sharp details and historically accurate markings for the aircraft from the 370th Squadriglia in 1943. All canopy and wheel painting masks are made from outstanding Pmask self-adhesive materials, greatly facilitating a professional final effect.
