Italeri 1/72 CANT. Z. 501 by Italeri 0112 - Scale Seaplane for Modellers

This Italeri 1/72 kit recreates the Italian CANT. Z. 501 flying boat in compact scale, offering a faithful small model for WWII aviation enthusiasts. The moulded polystyrene parts provide crisp detail suitable for careful painting and finishing.

Reconnaissance Work Made Small-Scale

Used extensively for maritime patrols, the CANT. Z. 501's distinctive hull and wing plan are well represented in this kit. It gives modelmakers a chance to display an important patrol type alongside other period aircraft.

Building Experience and Display Value

The kit rewards a steady hand and attention to finishing. Once assembled and painted, it forms a neat period piece that works well in a collection or a coastal patrol diorama.

At 1/72 scale the kit provides good external likeness and is suitable for display cases. For museum-level accuracy consider researching correct markings and adding fine detailing where needed.
Build time varies by skill level. A focused modeller might finish basic assembly and painting in several dedicated sessions, while detailed weathering and decals will add extra time.
Careful test-fitting is key. Use thin cement to glue seams, allow curing, then sand smooth and re-scribe any lost panel lines before priming and painting.
