The Italeri 1801S - 1/144 ATR 42-500 kit models the regional turboprop that became a mainstay of short-range passenger operations. First produced in the mid 1980s, the ATR 42 earned a place for its twin turboprop efficiency and ability to use short airstrips. This box represents the ATR-500 improvement from the 1990s, fitted with upgraded engines and six bladed propellers. There is also an ATR 42 MP "Surveyor" military patrol variant employed by various agencies.
Tooling for this kit is entirely new and the package includes a display stand plus decals for three distinct liveries. It is a solid option for collectors and modellers seeking a neat, historically grounded representation of a regional type.
