Italeri 1/48 Scale Fiat CR.42 Falco Aces Plastic Model Kit

Description

Build your static model fleet with the 1/48 Scale Fiat CR.42 Falco Aces Plastic Model Kit. The Fiat CR.42 Falco was a single-seat sesquiplane fighter which served primarily in Italy's Regia Aeronautica before and during World War II. The aircraft was produced by Fiat Aviazione, and entered service, in smaller numbers, with the air forces of Belgium, Sweden and Hungary. With more than 1,800 built, it was the most widely produced Italian aircraft to take part in World War II. The Fiat CR.42 was the last of the Fiat biplane fighters to enter front line service as a fighter, and represented the epitome of the type.

RAF Intelligence praised its exceptional manoeuvrability, further noting that aircraft was immensely strong though it stood little chance against faster, more heavily armed monoplanes. It performed at its best with the Hungarian Air Force on the Eastern Front, where it had a kill to loss ratio of 12 to 1.

The Italeri range of kits are manufactured from tough styrene plastic and provide a high level of scale detail.
