CFS2 Macchi MC202 Folgore of 3 Stormo, 18 Gruppo, 85 Squadriglia. The most important Italian fighter of WWII, the Folgore was derived from the Saetta with the installation of a German Daimler-Benz 600 serie engine. Fast, manouvrable, reliable, it had comparable performances with the Bf109F series but suffered from a lack of firepower. It served in the Mediterranean theatre in 1941-43. This plane was flown by Italian ace Luigi Gorrini, credited with 19 confirmed kills. It features full moving parts and high resolution historically accurate textures. By Alessandro Casadio.
