MIB VINTAGE Artiplast 1/50 MACCHI M.C. 200 SAETTA (Arrow) WW2 Fighter

Description: MIB Vintage Artiplast 1/50 MACCHI M.C. 200 SAETTA (Arrow) WW2 Fighter One of the most rugged fighters of World War II was the Italian Macchi MC.200 Saetta (Arrow). This durable plane owes its development to the brilliant design genius of Mario Castaldi designer of the famed Macchi-Castaldi race planes. Macchi MC.200s fought in nearly every Italian battle and escort to German Stukas during the invasion of Russia. Acceptance of the new monoplane by the Italian fighter squadrons was unenthusiastic. Accustomed to the slower but more nimble biplanes, many Pilots we're reluctant to accept the more advanced Saetta. Before long, wholehearted approval replaced their early rejection of the Saetta, which easily outmaneuvered English Spitfires and Hurricanes. The soundness of the Saettas basic concept was demonstrated by its remaining virtually unchanged throughout its operational life. By the time of the Italian surrender, nearly 1,000 MC.200s had been completed. Following the Italian Armistice, 23 Saettas continued fighting on the side of the Allies. Allied pilots who flew her had only praise for the little fighter, the ultimate tribute to her designer.
