Aires 4709 Macchi C.202 (early) control surfaces 1/48 HASEGAWA / EDUARD – control surface upgrade set

The Aires 4709 Macchi C.202 (early) control surfaces set is a high-quality detail accessory dedicated to 1/48 scale models of the Italian fighter Macchi C.202 Folgore from the early production series, designed for use with kits by Hasegawa and Eduard. The parts are made of precisely cast resin, which guarantees exceptionally realistic reproduction of details compared to the original plastic parts from the base kit.

The Macchi C.202 Folgore was one of the leading fighter aircraft of the Italian Air Force during World War II. The aircraft was used by the Regia Aeronautica (the Italian military air force) from 1941 until the end of the war in Europe. It featured excellent maneuverability and was deployed on a variety of fronts, including North Africa and over the Mediterranean Sea, where it successfully competed with Allied fighters.

The Aires set enables faithful replication of the distinctive control surfaces (ailerons, elevators, and rudder) – their textures, panel lines, and thin cross-sections, which enhances the authenticity of the model. It is intended as a replacement for the elements from the original Hasegawa or Eduard plastic sprues, offering an incomparably higher level of detail and precision. The resin parts are durable and easy to trim and fit, allowing the modeler to create an exposed aircraft model with greatly improved appearance.
