  21st Century Toys 1/32 macchi C202, by Tom Cleaver
It is nearly impossible to look at the Macchi C.200 and realize that it had a pedigree in Schneider Cup air racing history that was as important as that of the Supermarine Spitfire, with its sire being the incredible Macchi C.72 racer, the fastest seaplane racer to ever fly.
The C.202 was used as a trainer in the north, while it was operated in limited service in the South while engines were available, flying with the Balkans Air Force.
My PCM C.202 model had met an unfortunate end last summer when I came to the realization that no amount of work to correct its faults was ever going to make it right.

After a fair amount of fiddling, I had the plane flying reasonably well finally, and had been flying combat with it for several months.
One part that I found entertaining was that one HALF of his prop was buried inside the Macchi's fuse just ahead of the tail feathers.
Oh Well, so much for the Macchi - I now have a Pica FW-190 almost finished, as well as a Tony that needs repairs (got that one in a trade with a friend).

 Netwings - AerMacchi C202/205 !!! Final Version !!!
The Macchi C.205 V was the fighter I had been waiting for to put me in conditions of parity with the enemy.
Macchi serie was completely different from 109; 109 (G) was an high-altitude interceptor; MC 205 was a low-medium altitude dogfighter.
Handling however was completely different, Macchis had lighter, more pleasant controls at slow speeds and high altitude, Gustavs were significantly better at high speeds and high altitude; but Macchi was more manouvrable with general better performance at low-medium altitudes.

The stick joint (with its nose-up/dive/turn movements) was not difficult to reproduce, while the planning and the manufacture of the rudder pedals with its differential motion was far more complicated, partly because of the materials at my disposal.
The cockpit KA01 – Macchi C202 has been built to verify the principles of manufacture by practical means.
As for the seat, there are two options: the first one follows the element built for the Macchi, with the seat and the little side walls, while the second one has a plywood frame on which I set the original cushions of the AB 206 helicopter.

The Italian aircraft company Macchi had developed the elegant C202 Folgore (Lightning) fighter in the late 1930s but because there was no suitable indigenous inline engine of suitable power, Macchi instead installed the German-sourced Daimler-Benz DB601 twelve-cylinder inverted-V liquid-cooled engine.
Although it was available too late and in too little numbers to affect the outcome of Italy’s involvement in the war, the Macchi C202 proved clearly superior to both the American Curtiss P-40 and the British Hawker Hurricane.
Although Macchi C202 Folgores outnumbered all other fighter aircraft in the Italian air force, total production was limited by engine availability and amounted to only about 1,500.

 Craftworks Macchi C.205 "Veltro" by Chris Busbridge
The two Craftworks Macchi kits will enable you to build practically every version of the these famous aircraft.
Using scaled-up plans from the excellent AeroDetail book (and the C.202 Ali d'Italia to back it up), the only serious problems I found concerned the spinner, canopy and tail fin.
To resolve the spinner problem, I simply rounded off the Folgore version, as the Veltro part was too badly shaped to correct easily.

 IPMS Kit Review: Hasegawa 1/48 Macchi C.202 Folgore
Background: The Macchi C.202 Folgore (Lightning) was the best fighter fielded by Italy's Regia Aeronautica during WWII.
By adapting the airframe to the German Daimler-Benz DB 601 liquid cooled inline engine, top speed was increased by 60 mph over the earlier version's top speed of 312mph.
The first C.202 flew in August of 1940 and the Regia Aeronautica initially deployed the aircraft during the summer/fall of 1941.

 21st Century Toys Macchi C.202
While waiting for production capabilities to be achieved locally Alfa imported some DB-601 engines immediately and began working with engineers at Macchi to mate this power-plant to the Macchi C-200 airframe.
During the summer of 1941 the first production aircraft were being delivered to operational units and the type was first seen in action over Libya in November of 1941.
The C.202 was a rugged and durable aircraft that could hold its own against the Allied P-38 Lightning and Super Marine Spitfire at low altitudes however its weak armament did hamper its effectiveness.

The wing skins are all attached and the front of the fuselage is neatly fit.
As a side note, on the Macchi C202, the left wing was slightly longer than the right and had a narrower wing tip.
You need to measure carefully to see it, but the wing tips are clearly different in the flat before building.
