Italeri 1/72 Savoia-Marchetti SM.79 Sparviero

The Italeri 1/72 Savoia-Marchetti SM.79 Sparviero from our 1/72 scale aircraft model kits range accurately recreates the real-life Italian bomber aircraft flown during World War II. This plastic model kit requires paint and glue to complete.

This elegant 3-engined aircraft was originally developed by the Italian aeronautical industry in the mid-30s to provide fast postal links with African colonies. Versions of record-breaking speed were soon developed. Its high velocity performance brought it to the Worlds attention when it was used in a purely military role as a bomber and when, during World War Two, it was extensively used as a torpedo bomber in the Mediterranean: despite poor defensive weaponry and crew protection, its successes against allied shipping were numerous.
