Macchi C.202 Folgore – Historical Background

The Macchi C.202 Folgore was one of the best Italian fighter aircraft of World War II. Manufactured by Aeronautica Macchi, it entered service with the Regia Aeronautica (Italian Air Force) between 1941 and 1943, participating in key battles over the Mediterranean, North Africa, and Sicily. The aircraft distinguished itself with excellent performance in its class, enabling the Italians to effectively engage Allied aircraft in aerial combat.

Product Features and Application

The Yahu YMA4809 instrument panel is made from high-quality photo-etched metal, covered with a durable color print that faithfully replicates the original C.202 cockpit instruments. No additional painting or assembly of many parts is needed—all dials and indicators are precisely printed, reproducing even the smallest details. Installation is very simple thanks to the perfect fit of the part inside the Hasegawa model.

Who is it recommended for?

We recommend this professional modeling upgrade to intermediate and advanced modelers who value historical accuracy and detail in their projects. The panel works great as an enhancement for models built "straight from the box" as well as for competition builds. This product greatly increases the realism of the cockpit, and its use does not require experience with modeling chemicals or advanced skills – difficulty level: 2/5.
