Macchi C.200

P-40 did not have a panel as shown.

C202 had a small air scoop which does not show in the photo and had louvres in the panel.

M.C.202 · « **Reply #7 on:** April 19, 2002, 04:40:54 PM »

The number one give-a-way is the lack of a canopy top. All but the first production M.C.200's were open top cockpit planes. A nice aircraft, good climb for the era, tough, fair speed (320) and more agile than the 202 that evolved from it.
Have I said that I own one?...

Here is the info:

SOCIETA AERONAUTICA ITALIANA
Ing. A. AMBROSINI & C.
Passipnano sul Trasimeno

Apparecchio M.C.200 MM (reg. number)
8462 Motore A.74.M.M.38494
No. di costr. 710 Coll. il 30.3.42

And all it needs is an engine, avionics, airframe and weapons:D

Well, I do own the build plate

MC-200, it is:)

Wow that would be a neat thing to have:)

M.C.202 · « **Reply #9 on:** April 20, 2002, 02:17:31 AM »

I have hopes that some one out there can come up with a service history or location it was at.

I have been told that the data plate is the plane, the rest is just replacable parts:)

Any one have more parts for me?

Free rides if I get ALL parts:D

I have liked the "odd" look of the M.C. 200 from my first model building days.
I was looking on E Bay for WWII equipment for my WWII reenacting hobby (G.I. and R.A. Bersagliari) and broadened the search to "WWII Italian" and out of the TONS of listings was the build plate.

I REEELEY wanted it, so at the end of the auction my better half had two computers on line and ready to add to my early bid. They were set and just waiting for the return key to be pressed.

I won in the last seconds with a much higher bid as others were trying the same thing.

Ya just never know what you will find there. We are bidding on a matchbook from a small nightclub my Father and Mother set-up and ran for two or three years in San Francisco starting in '42:eek: (she lied about her age:)

Great image brady, it shows armourers of the 1st Stormo supply ammunition for the two MGs of a C.200. The type B S.Giorgio collimator is clearly visible on the inside of the wind-screen.
