MACCHI MC 205 VELTRO PLASTIC MODEL KIT 1/32 SCALE ITALERI

Macchi MC 205 Veltro – 1/32 Scale (Italeri 2519) The Macchi MC 205 Veltro is widely regarded as the finest Italian fighter aircraft of World War II. Evolved from the successful MC 202 “Folgore,” the Veltro combined elegant Italian aeronautical design with the power of the German Daimler-Benz DB605 V12 engine, license-built by Fiat. With a top speed of 640 km/h, superb manoeuvrability, and heavy armament, it could stand toe-to-toe with top Allied fighters such as the P-51 Mustang. Italeri’s 1/32 scale Veltro is a brand-new tooling created with advanced design standards, exceptional surface detail, and innovative features — including a highly detailed cockpit with 3D decals. Following the success of Italeri’s MC 202, this long-awaited release brings the Veltro to life with outstanding realism and build quality.

After the September armistice, it continued flying with both the Italian Social Republic and the Co-Belligerent Air Force until the end of the war. Fast, agile, and well-armed, the Veltro is remembered as Italy’s ultimate WWII fighter.
