Macchi C.205 Veltro Italian Fighter 1910mm (ARF) (AU Warehouse)

Die Beschreibung

The Macchi C.205 Veltro was an Italian World War II fighter aircraft built by Aeronautica Macchi. The Macchi C.205 Veltro was one of three Italian fighters built around the powerful Daimler-Benz DB605 engine, the C.205 was a development of the earlier C.202 Folgore. With a top speed of over 400mph and equipped with a pair of 20mm cannons as well as 12.7mm Breda machine guns the Macchi C.205 Veltro was highly respected by Allied and Luftwaffe pilots alike. The Macchi C.205 Veltro is regarded as the best Italian aircraft of World War II, in action it proved extremely effective, destroying a large number of Allied bombers and it was capable of clashing on equal terms with such renown fighters as the P51 Mustang, a capability which encouraged the Luftwaffe to use a number of these to equip their Gruppes.

Our model of the Macchi C.205 Veltro captures the essence of this meanful looking fighter and the elegant lines that Italian designers are renown for. Couple this with the beautiful flying characteristics and you have a World War II fighter that is slightly different from the usual Mustangs and Spitfires you see down at the local flying patch.
