Italeri 1290 1/72 S.79 Sparviero - Classic WWII Tri-Motor Kit  [IT-1290S]

Italeri 1290 1/72 S.79 Sparviero scale kit overview

The Italeri 1/72 scale S.79 Sparviero captures the distinctive lines of the Italian three-engine aircraft used before and during World War II. Originally conceived for fast postal routes in the 1930s, the S.79 later served as a military platform known for speed and long-range operations in Mediterranean theatres. This kit offers a compact but faithful representation for display builders and history-minded hobbyists.

Why this model appeals to builders

The S.79 is notable in modelling circles for its aerodynamic silhouette and historical role despite limited defensive armor. This kit gives enthusiasts a chance to replicate that profile with careful assembly and painting, producing a strong museum-style model for a shelf or cabinet.

Build quality and finished display

Parts are moulded to reflect the Sparviero's sleek fuselage and three-engine layout, making the finished model an attractive addition to any collection. When completed the model measures 22.5 cm in length and shows the aircrafts streamlined form well at 1/72 scale.
