Italeri 1276 1/72 CR.42 Falco Scale Modeller Edition  [IT-1276S]

Italeri 1/72 CR.42 Falco - scale modeller focused biplane kit

The Italeri 1/72 CR.42 Falco kit models a compact WWII biplane that served in the early conflict years. Derived from the earlier C.R.32 series, the Falco combined manoeuvrability with a durable construction that extended its operational use, including adaptations for night duty by some operators.

Period background and collector interest

Equipped with an A.74 engine rated near 840 horsepower and built largely from metal components for the era, the CR.42 found service with nations such as Sweden, Belgium and Hungary. This kit reproduces the silhouette and era-specific markings that attract scale collectors and display builders.

Practical build information

Intended for modellers who appreciate accuracy in a compact package, the finished Italeri model measures roughly 11 cm in length. The assembly presents a moderate challenge suited to those comfortable with 1/72 detail work. Note that glue and paint are required but not included.
