Trumpeter 02817 Savoia-Marchetti S.M.79-II Sparviero 1:48 Historical Model

The Savoia-Marchetti S.M.79 Sparviero stands out in WWII aviation history as a multi-role Italian bomber converted from a commercial airframe. Its three-engined configuration became iconic, though some variants ran as twin-engined types with powerplants like the Junkers Jumo 211D, and it served with countries such as Brazil, Iraq and Romania.

Trumpeters 1:48 kit reflects the S.M.79s wartime deployments from Spain through North Africa and gives hobbyists a detailed project measuring 337.5mm in length with a 442mm wingspan. The kit comprises 195 plastic parts across six sprues, offering a thorough assembly for display-minded modellers.

Will this kit need extra preparation before painting?

Minor trimming and test-fitting are typical; remove seam lines and wash parts before priming to ensure paint adheres evenly across the assembled model.

Are cockpit and interior details included?

The kit provides internal components appropriate for the scale; advanced builders may wish to enhance the cockpit with extra detail or aftermarket sets for a higher level of realism.

What is the best way to protect the decals after application?

Apply decals over a gloss surface, allow setting solutions to dry, then seal with a clear varnish to protect edges and help blend decals into the paintwork for a natural finish.
