New Review: Macchi MC.200 Saetta

[IPMSUpdates]

What is in the Box

• 4 gray injection molded plastic sprues [247 parts total]
• 1 clear sprue
• 1 decal sheet with 6 markings options
• 1 3d printed instrument panel (three parts)
• 2 Etched Brass frets
• 1 canopy & wheel hub masks
• 1 elastic vinyl tubing
• 1 brass wire
• 1 instruction book in FULL color

Construction

The construction begins with the cockpit and the fuselage interior and this makes up the majority of the early construction sequence. Extra time spent here will pay dividends later in the build and I recommend a thorough reading of the instructions since they will alleviate most if not all construction problems. The sprue gates are on the mating surfaces, so it is imperative to cut them from the sprues with care and be sure not to over sand the sprue gate nubs.
