Airfix 04007V Savoia-Marchetti SM79 1/72 – Plastic Combat Aircraft Model Kit

The presented Airfix 04007V Savoia-Marchetti SM79 model in 1/72 scale is an accurate replica of one of the most recognizable Italian bombers from World War II. The Savoia-Marchetti SM.79 Sparviero (“Sparrowhawk”) was a three-engined bomber, used mainly by the Regia Aeronautica (Italy) from 1936 to 1945. This bomber stood out thanks to its distinctive hump on the fuselage’s back, which secured its place in the history of military aviation.
