Hello everyone.
I closed my thread on the Mosquito ( here ) considering the Macchi MC 202 Folgore as a prime candidate to end up on my workbench. In fact I was wondering: I am an Italian modeler and I do not have any Italian aircraft in my showcases. This is not good.
According to common opinion it is one of the most beautiful fighters operating during the Second World War and without much to envy to the Allied fighters, at least during the early periods of the war.

MC 202 at Vigna di Valle Museum
This is the Italeri kit
So the decision is made! This will be my next commitment in the coming months.
It promises to be a beautiful kit to build, it includes a Cartograf decal sheet, with 8 versions to choose from, PE parts, 3D cockpit decals and smoke ring decals.
The Italeri model was born under the aegis and approval of the Italian Air Force and this, except for the necessary checks during construction, should constitute a guarantee of the fidelity of the model itself.
I am waiting for the MRP color range entirely dedicated to the Italian Air Force in WW2, to begin this new stage of my modeling journey.
I hope that this construction can arouse your interest and your kind (as always) attention.
Dan
