Fiat G.55 Sottoserie 0, 1/48 - 48066
The G.55 was the equivalent of the Mustang, Spitfire and Focke-Wulf 190. Fast, heavily armed and highly maneuverable, the plane was effective against Allied bombers. Series production was also considered by the Germans who soon discovered that the G.55 was the only Axis fighter available that could accept the new powerful DB.603 (1,800 hp) engine (a design limiation of the Bf.109). However, like so many excellent Italian war programs the G.55 was built in too few numbers. The Fiat G.55 established itself as a premier fighter and was built in several variants and continued to be built after the war with purchase orders from Argentina, Syria and Egypt.

The Sotttoserie 0 (pre-series) aircraft were armed with one 20mmm cannon and four 0.5 calibre machine guns. About 30 examples of these powerful preseries aircraft were manufactured and delivered to the Regia Aeronautica and the Aeronautica Nazionale Republicana. These planes took part in the air battles to defend Rome.

Comes with 85 medium grey injection molded parts on four frames, includes injection molded clear parts on one frame, resin and photo etch parts and decals for three aircraft plus four pages with parts plan, history, build instructions and painting/decal diagrams.

Piaggio P.108 Serie II, 1/72 - 72035
This advanced four engined strategic bomber was the only one of its type placed into production by the Axis powers in WWII. Produced in sufficient numbers, this bomber could have tilted the balance of air power in the Mediterranean. Heavily armed and with a good operational range, the P.108 would strike deep into the Mediterranean hitting Girbraltar and Algeria.

This kit, P.108 Serie II (Flying Machines P.108 Serie I) , comes with 85 medium grey injection moulded parts on four frames, 13 injection moulded clear parts on one frame, 33 resin parts and decals for two aircraft plus four pages with parts plan, history, build instructions and painting/decal diagrams.

Designed and built in 1939, the Piaggio P.108 was one of the most advanced heavy bombers of WWII featuring remote controlled gun turrets, a heavy bomb load, and a good operational range striking deep into the Mediterranean; only too few aircraft were constructed due to a chronic shortage of raw materials.

The P.108A was a variant of the original strategic bomber and was equipped with a 102mm canon for anti-shipping work. The gun was capable of firing 20 rounds per minute and was feed by an automatic loader.

Mavag Heja II Hungarian Fighter 1/72 - 72100
Although used in relatively small numbers by the Regia Aeronautica the Re.2000 was quite likely the best of the R-Programme fighters and even out flying the Bf.109E. The Re.2000 was exported in fairly large numbers to Sweden and Hungary. Yugoslavia, Spain, Switzerland and Finland all began negotiations to acquire the plane but these orders were automatically canceled when Italy went to war. Hungary also built a number of Re.2000s under license in which the Piaggio radial engine was substituted with the Manfred Weiss WM K-14 (Gnome-Rhône 14K Mistral Major radial) and hence the change in name to Mavag Heja.

This kit comes with finely engraved recessed panel lines and PE sets and resin parts. Comes with a detailed cockpit interior and decals for Hungarian Fighters.

Macchi C.200 Serie I 1/48 - 48033
Undoubtedly the best fighter available in large 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.

Aermacchi C.200 I. Serie 1/72 - SHY72081
Thoroughly underrated, the Macchi C.200 was the contemporary of the Hawker Hurricane, however the C.200 was able to out climb, out dive and out maneuver it.

In air battles over Malta and Greece, the C.200 was only matched by the early Spitfires.

Includes interior resin cockpit, engine and cowling. Vacuform canopy and decals for three planes.
