Italeri's offering reproduces key airframe lines and control surfaces so builders can explore the type's historical role while practising fine assembly skills. It is suitable for both detailed restoration projects and quicker builds for display.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: PS Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included
Yes. The 1/72 size keeps the model compact while still showing key details, so it fits well in small cabinets or on crowded shelves.
Authentic finishes require a selection of period-appropriate colours. Acrylic or enamel hobby paints both work; thin coats and weathering techniques bring out the panel lines and rigging.
Rigging and fine painting can add several hours to the project. Budget extra time for careful threading, decal setting, and a final clear coat to protect the finish.
