The last one looks like an IMAM Ro.57, only about 50 delivered before Italy threw in the towel.

If the Bf 109 dimensions, especially of the air intake, are correct this is a G-10 or G-14/AS. There seems to be a major error in the model kit regarding the cover of engine exhaust stacks - it should not cover 50-75% of the exhaust area but just 10-25%.
C.205 had a bigger prop hub cap and smoother transition to the engine cowling than the C.202.

It appears to be a model of this aircraft:

I don't know what kit maker it's from or the scale. Trumpeter/Hobby Boss are know for making exquisitely engineered kits with horrible accuracy problems. Their 1/24 Zero has a fictitious bump in the line from the cockpit to the nose. Both the 1/32 and 1/24 Spitfire have horrible fabric detail on the fixed part of the horizontal stabilizers. They have a 1/24 and 1/32 Bf-109 series, I'm not sure about 1/48, but I think Hobby Boss has a 1/72 kit.
