Macchi MC200 Saetta

A model of the brand Revell the kit: Macchi MC200 Saetta – Revell 3991.

The Macchi C.200 was one of WWII’s fastest, most maneuverable aircraft. Mario Castoldi, the creator of the Schneider Trophy-winning M.39, was the project’s lead designer. Castoldi used his racing aircraft expertise to construct an all-metal fighter with a fully enclosed cockpit and retractable landing gear. Prototypes were powered by an 870 hp Fiat® A.74 radial engine, which resulted in 500 mph (805 km/h) speeds while diving. Kit features structured surfaces, a detailed radial engine, a detailed undercarriage, a movable propeller, a pilot figure and decals for Italian and German versions.

German Staff Car “Admiral Cabriolet”

A model of the brand Revell the kit: German Staff Car – Admiral Cabriolet – Revell 3099.

The Opel Admiral Cabriolet was originally designed as a civilian luxury car. However, once World War II broke out in 1939, Opel was forced to change their initial plans. Manufactured for the war effort instead, the Admiral Cabriolet became a high-end transport for German generals and other senior officers. Kit features finely engraved surface details, a detailed chassis and suspension, an authentically reproduced 3.6-litre 6-cylinder in-line engine, an opening hood, an opening top, a detailed interior, detailed internal fittings, filigree components and authentic decals for four vehicles.

A model of the brand Revell the kit: Mörser 18/17 cm Kanone 18/Sd. Kfz. 9 Famo – Revell 3188.

From 1939-44, Germany’s FAMO Motor Works manufactured the Sd. Kfz.9 half-track to transport heavy artillery. The 21 cm Mörser 18 was equipped with a double-recoil system, supported by top and bottom mounts. The Sd. Kfz.9 made it easy for troops to transport it in one piece. The 21 cm Mörser 18 was replaced by the 17 cm Kanone 18, which was smaller and had a longer range. This kit combo features one 21 cm Mörser 18 kit and one 17 cm Kanone 18 with Sd. Kfz. 9 FAMO kit.
