I am interested in building a scale kit or plans of a Macchi C.202 Folgore "Lightning" or Macchi 205 single-seat fighter. but I can not find any each, if anyone can help let me know. I want it to be my first warbird kit, and put retracts on it too.

thank you..

The Macchi as the first warbird may be a mistake, they are a bear to handle in the air.

That being said ImpScale makes a 202: http://www.impscale.com/html/macchi_202.html

IlBart,

That Veltro is from VQ Warbirds and can be found here: http://www.vqwarbirds.com/products/aircraft/macchi.html

Its not the most scale looking bird, and is on the smaller side.

I won't go into my opinion of VQ here either as it's already well known.

BalonS

is the plans from ama for their Macchi C.202 Folgore scale? and has anyone tested that airplane out? I am going to build from those plans..

Which one? the 60" WS version?

BalonS

From what I have seen, they are OK. Makes for a nice stand-off scale Macchi. There are a lot worse out there and there are some a bit better.

On a scale of 1-10 I would give them a 7.5-8.0

request to ilbart;

a club member has a very nice macchi 202 with an italian squadron symbol and motto. we would like
to understand the meaning of the words of the symbol, but i cannot find a translation anywhere.
could you help with the english meaning of " sollo Lachi locca" or maybe its "sollo achi locca".?

I too have difficulties' to be able to translate correctly ... are you sure that you write like this ... however I believe that means"
"come who has to play"

ecpeter

thank you at-6 texan;
I'm certain of the spelling; with the words there is a symbol of a knight's
armored boot; i'm not sure if the boot shape is intended to be the "L" of
the secong word or not, but it would be one of the two versions of my first
post.
The insignia decal came with the plans, but i can't find a reference
to explain it.
Thanks for your help, (and I envy the year-round flying weather
you have in Firenze, not like here in Minnesota)
ciao

not to all!!...but if you haves the photo to this....i can translate better...yes
and this is perhaps one of the advantages that we have ... but here in the summer heat dies by de river runs through the city '.

ecpeter

thanks at-6 texan
I will try to get a digital photo next time we are at the flying field,
and attach it to a new post on this thread.
til then,

If you like Italian fighters try a Fiat Centauro. RCM Plans. 86" w/s G-45. I would love to have the plans blown up to 110" w/s.It is such a great flyer. Stuka Jon

yea ecpeter is correct translate... is this: come who has to play!!... but i don't things that true of the enemies the Americans and British ...
maybe it was to deter the enemies of us more vulnerable HA HA HA HA HA!!.

Hi, I think the correct spelling is "Sotto a chi tocca!" which means something like: "com'on, who's next?" in Italian slang, when you call someone into the fight.
