Hello group,

Has anyone one of you built the Italeri 1/32 Macchi M.C. 202?

Thanks,

Fred

No. Tried to order one through Lucky Model, but that didn’t go so good.

I still want one as well as the 205 but I think they are pricey for an Italeri kit.

I I have the 202 in my stash, it is jostling against the Sit Tamiya to be the next on my bench after the Mosquito I’m building (find the build in this section, if you like).
205 could be one of my next purchases.
I am sharing some photos of the two brothers just taken at the Italian Air Force Museum of Vigna di Valle (also on this you can find my report in the specific section).

Sorry… against SPITFIRE…

I think that the average Italeri quality is, in this case, not to be considered. The 202 promises to be an excellent kit, of another level. Of course, it is quite expensive, here in Italy I can buy it for about 100€. If the promises are kept, however, it would be worth comparing it with kits of equivalent quality that cost even (much) more, see Tamiya or Kotare to name just a few…
