Italeri has released a Macchi C.200 in 1/48 which is apparently quite nice. Of course, most kits can stand an improved cockpit and so Pavla has provided one for this kit. It comes with a new floor, sidewalls, instrument panel, seat, rudder pedals, trim wheel, gun sight and a number of smaller levers and knobs. In other words, iti s pretty much a full replacement for the kit parts. The molding is superlative as you can see and it looks very much like the cockpit may well be a straight drop-in for the kit item. Full assembly and painting guide is provided by Pavla. A great update set and one that  you should seriously consider
