Cant Z 506B Airone 1/72 by Italeri - Scale Summary

The Italeri Cant Z 506B Airone in 1/72 scale represents a classic Italian floatplane produced by C.R.D.A. Famous for reliable operation despite a primarily wooden airframe, the Airone was deployed for reconnaissance, rescue and light strike missions during the late 1930s and early 1940s.

Kit upgrades, parts and historical context

This box contains newly retooled parts for improved fit and silhouette accuracy. The package includes a high-quality decal sheet with six variant markings and photo-etched parts to refine cockpit and airframe detail. Builders receive a full-colour instruction sheet to simplify construction steps.

Why collectors value the Airone

The model is a strong pickup for collectors focused on seaplanes or Mediterranean theatre builds. With multiple decal choices and accurate moulding, it makes a convincing display subject whether painted as an operational machine or a preserved example.
