Product: 1:72 S.M.79 M Sparviero
The S.M.79 Sparviero was created and manufactured in the 1930s by
Italian company SIAI-Marchetti initially as a civilian aircraft, which
then went on to achieve significant world speed records during this
period. Featuring a typical three-engine low-wing configuration, it had
a wood, canvas and metal frame. Subsequently reconfigured into military
variants, it was widely used by the Italian Regia Aeronautica during the
Second World War, particularly as a bomber in the Mediterranean theatre
and then as an effective torpedo bomber. Recognizable by the "hump"
behind the cockpit and due to its three 750 HP Alfa Romeo 126 RC34
radial engines, it was capable of reaching a top speed of 430 km/h. In
its basic bomber role it was superseded by many other more modern
aircraft, however the "Sparviero" for the entire duration of the
conflict achieved significant results in the hands of its skilled crews
during torpedo maritime operations in which it attacked enemy shipping.
