Scale profile: Cant Z 506B Airone by Italeri in 1/72

The Italeri 1/72 Cant Z 506B Airone reproduces an iconic Italian floatplane from the C.R.D.A. workshops, noted for its wooden structure yet strong operational record. The type served with the Regia Aeronautica on maritime patrols, rescue missions and light bombing tasks through the late 1930s and wartime period.

Kit highlights and historical notes

This historic upgrade features improved moulds for cleaner lines and better part fit. The set includes a super decal sheet covering six distinct schemes and a selection of photo-etched parts to add refined surface detail. The coloured instruction guide supports a systematic build process.

Presentation and collecting notes

The model makes a fine centrepiece for collections centred on interwar and wartime naval aviation. Its varied decal options and detailed parts allow modellers to represent different service examples, whether for static display or diorama use.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: Plastic with photo-etched parts
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Decals: Includes options for six versions
  • Instructions: Colored guide included
Choose muted naval tones with subtle weathering. Match decal markings to reference photos for authenticity and apply light washes to highlight panel lines and wooden texture.
Some rigging between struts and aerials improves realism. Use fine thread or brass wire, and tension carefully to avoid stressing the plastic parts.
Assembly time varies by experience. Expect several evenings for careful construction, plus extra time for painting, decaling and weathering to achieve a display standard finish.
