Italeri S.M.79 M Sparviero Aircraft Kit 1:72

Italeri S.M.79 M Sparviero brings a well-known 1930s and Second World War aircraft into 1:72 scale as a detailed assembly kit. The finished subject stands out through the characteristic hump behind the cockpit, the low-wing layout and the 3-engine configuration that made the Sparviero instantly recognizable in period service and in aviation collections. Originally created by SIAI-Marchetti as a civilian aircraft, the S.M.79 later served the Regia Aeronautica in bomber and torpedo-bomber roles across the Mediterranean theatre. The original aircraft used a structure of wood, canvas and metal, a combination that helps explain its distinctive form and historical character. Power on the full-size aircraft came from 3 Alfa Romeo 126 RC34 radial engines rated at 750 HP each, and the type could reach 430 km/h. This background gives the build a clear technical identity beyond its camouflage and markings. The kit includes an assembly set, instructions and decor, with markings for 6 versions to support different finishing directions. Assembly is required, with a stated build time of 600 minutes. Once completed and painted, the model suits shelf display, diorama use or a focused aircraft-building session centered on an Italian wartime design with a strong historical profile.
