Here is the build thread for this: http://www.scale-models.co.uk/threads/hobby-boss-1-72-mc-200-saetta.31697/
In summary, I've added extra details in the form of:
Sorry about the quality of the photos - I'm still mastering the camera on my phone and the results are variable to say the least.
I really enjoyed building this kit. The quality and fit of the basic kit parts is really high, and the extra details are easy to do. Decals are also of a very high quality, and there are sets for two schemes, of which I chose the most colourful. The markings are for a 362 Squadriglia machine fighting in Russia in 1941. I expect the Saettas did well against most Russian planes they encountered at that time, but they might have regretted the open cockpit once winter came!

In summary, I've added extra details in the form of:
- Instrument panel
- Machine guns (the kit just had 'tokens' moulded onto the fuselage)
- Extra undercarriage doors (the kit just had the largest ones)
- Air intake under cowling
- Pitot tube
- Fixed gap in top of cowling
