Aermacchi C.200

Undoubtedly the best fighter available in some quantity to the Regia Aeronautica at beginning of the war, the Macchi C.200 was a robust, extremely maneuverable and a reasonably fast monoplane. Designed by ing. Mario Castoldi, the winner of various Schneider Trophy contests, the C.200 was generally liked by its pilots and many Regia Aeronautica pilots would earn ace status flying this plane. The MC.200 would eventually be developed into the potent MC.202.This high-quality series of color references is exclusively devoted to Italian WW2 aircraft. The series is edited by Giorgio Apostolo, the best known and most respected Italian Aviation Historian and the author of several authoritative texts. Each reference contains text in both Italian and English. Each book is lavishly illustrated with many color profiles replete with color specifications provided for each aircraft. Intended for the modeler but also a handy reference for specific aircraft of the Regia Aeronautica. Technical drawings ( 6-views ) are provided in both 1/72 and 1/48 scales.
