Italeri 1450 - 1/72 C-27J Spartan / G.222 Scale Replica

The Italeri 1450 reproduces the Aeritalia G-222 with careful attention to its wartime role and design origins. Giuseppe Gabrielli developed the G-222 in the late 1960s to provide the Italian Air Force with a nimble tactical transport. It is smaller than the Lockheed C-130 Hercules and engineered for short-field performance on unimproved strips, using twin turboprops to achieve speeds around 480 km/h.

The kit also nods to the later C-27J Spartan upgrade, introduced from 2005 with Rolls-Royce AE2100-D2 engines that increase top speed beyond 600 km/h while improving performance. The platform can carry up to about 68 troops or above 11 tonnes of cargo and uses modern avionics for complex operations.
