The Italeri 1801S - 1/144 ATR 42-500 kit captures the twin turboprop regional airliner that became a staple of short sectors. First developed in the mid 1980s, the ATR 42 is known for its efficient design and ability to serve short runways. This edition depicts the ATR-500 upgrade from the 1990s which introduced improved powerplants and six blade propellers. A military MP variant called the ATR 42 MP "Surveyor" has been used in maritime patrol duties.
Produced from completely new moulds, the kit includes a display stand and a decal sheet with three livery choices. It is a neat option for builders wanting an accurate small scale example of a key regional type.
