The Macchi C.200 Saetta was an Italian Air Force fighter from World War II, widely used by the Regia Aeronautica from 1939 up to 1943. These aircraft took part in combat on the Mediterranean front, in North Africa, as well as in Greece and Sicily. Due to innovative design solutions and relatively good maneuverability, the C.200 constituted the backbone of Italian fighter forces until more advanced designs appeared.

The Eduard 481138 set allows you to recreate a realistic structure of the landing flaps, reflecting their characteristic construction and the specific guide rail system used on the Macchi C.200. By utilizing meticulous photo-etched elements, the model attains faithful representation even of the smallest surface details, which is crucial for modelers striving for the highest presentation standards. The resin parts enable precise enhancement of the structure, providing a three-dimensional effect and realism unattainable in plastic-only kits.

We strongly recommend this set to advanced and intermediate modelers who want to take their MC.200 Italeri build to a much higher level of detail. We rate the assembly difficulty at 4/5 – it requires precision, experience with small photo-etched parts, and skill working with resin elements. The final result will undoubtedly satisfy even the most demanding aviation and modeling enthusiasts.

When used properly, the Eduard 481138 MC.200 Landing Flaps set allows you to create a highly realistic model of the Macchi C.200 Saetta – an icon of Italian aviation from the era of the greatest 20th-century conflicts.
