ITALERI IT2519JP 1/32 WW2 ITALIAN MAKI MC.205 BERTRO Japanese Instruction Manual Plastic Model (Airplane)

The Macchi M.C. 205 Veltro is considered the best Italian fighter of World War II. The evolution of the "Folgore" retained the excellent aeronautical design of its predecessor and was equipped, like other fighters of the "Series 5", with the German Daimler-Benz DB605 engine.The powerful V12 engine, also produced under licence by Fiat, allowed the Veltro to reach a maximum speed of 640 km/h. Fast, manoeuvrable, and well-armed, with 2 12.7 mm machine guns in the nose and 2 20 mm cannons in the wings, it was capable of fighting on par with the best Allied fighters of the period, such as the American P-51 Mustang. It entered service with the Regia Aeronautica in the early months of 1943.After the armistice of September 8, it was used, until the end of the conflict, by both the flight units of the Italian Social Republic and those of the Co-Belligerant Air Force.Scale: 1:32Upgraded moulds (figure not included)Super-detailed cockpit with 3D decalsCanopy and wheels masking sheetFinely detailed engine and nose gun bayDetailed landing gear with optionals wells coversPE parts for engine, flaps, cockpit and overall detailingRealistic panel lines and rivetsMoveable wings and tail aileronsOpen or closed flapsSuper decals sheet for 8 versionsRealistic smoke rings decals with application guideColoured painting and decals guide
