Italeri 1276 1/72 CR.42 Falco Retro Biplane Model Kit  [IT-1276S]

Italeri 1/72 CR.42 Falco - detailed small-scale biplane

The Italeri 1/72 CR.42 Falco kit brings a historic WWII biplane into the modeller's workshop. Evolving from the C.R.32 lineage, the Falco combined agility with rugged construction, enabling it to remain effective into later stages of the conflict where it was repurposed for roles such as night fighting.

Why this kit appeals to scale enthusiasts

With an A.74 engine rated around 840 horsepower and a mainly metal airframe, the CR.42 served several nations including Sweden, Belgium and Hungary. The kit reflects these period details and provides authentic shapes and markings for accurate scale finishes.

What to expect during the build

This Italeri release suits modellers who enjoy a hands-on assembly that rewards careful painting and weathering. At about 11 cm long when finished, the 1/72 scale is compact but offers clear lines for rigging and surface detailing. Glue and paint are required to complete the model.
