ITALIAN CLASSIC KITS OF ITALY IC 001 Macchi C.200 serie I-VI 1:48 Scale Resin Kit Aermacchi's and Ing. Mario Castoldi's first modern monoplane fighter. Italy's most important radial engined fighter, it saw service in every theater of their air war. While it was under gunned, it possessed finger light handling and could outturn P-40's, Hurricanes and early Spitfires. This kit consists of 50+ gray resin pieces, 6 white metal pieces, 1 vacuform windscreen and a decal sheet by Sky Models of Italy. Finely detailed, the fuselage walls are very thin similar to a plastic kit and include interior ribbing. The finest example of this aircraft kit on the market. Hand made and limited production. Kit $74.95. In our catalog, please see "Ali D'Italia" AD08 for a great reference source on the C.200 series. IC 002 Macchi C.200 serie VII 1:48 Scale Resin Kit Italian fighter pilots saw the new enclosed cockpit canopy on the first series aircraft and hated it! They thought that it interfered to much with their vision. One squadron resisted the transition from their CR.42's so much so that the C.200's were given to another squadron which wanted them. The solution to these objections was this series VII production aircraft with a semi-enclosed cockpit. Similar details to the above kit. Hand made and limited production. $74.95 IC 003 Macchi C.200 serie XXV- 1:48 Scale Resin Kit The last in the C.200 series and the precursor to the C.202 which shared many of the major components. Two 7.7mm machine guns were added in the wings, but at this point in the war, they were often removed to save their weight. Also used as a fighter/bomber in the ground attack role, the Macchi C.200 provided reliable service to the Regia Aeronautica. Similar details as above. Hand made and limited production. $74.95 IC 009 Reggiane Re.2000 1:48 Scale Resin Kit This is the fighter which out flew the Me.109E in flyoffs with German and Italian pilots flying both aircraft. It did not matter which pilots flew which planes. The Re.2000 got on the tail of the Me.109 everytime! Because it did not have self-sealing fuel tanks, it was not selected by the Regia Aeronautica for front line service, but was approved for export. The British ordered 300 after test flights and later increased the order to 1000. If Italy had stayed neutral, it would have been Re.2000's against Me.109's in the Battle of Britain. Flown by the Swedes and the Hungarians with limited service with the RA. Another hand made and limited production kit from Italian Classic. Complete with decals from Sky Models of Italy.
