1/72 Savoia Marchetti SM.ruote ponderate
The Savoia-Marchetti SM.79, also known as the "Sparviero," was an Italian three-engine bomber used during World War II. Designed and built by the Italian company Savoia-Marchetti, the SM.79 was one of the best-known bombers employed by the Italian armed forces during the conflict.
The SM.79 featured an inverted gullwing configuration and a long, thin fuselage. It was propelled by three 9-cylinder Alfa Romeo 126 RC.34 radial engines, which gave it good speed and reasonable war load capacity.
The SM.79 could be used in various roles, including tactical bombing, ground attack, troop transport, and reconnaissance missions. It was known for its versatility and reliability, as well as having a relatively long flight range, which made it suitable for long-range operations.
During World War II, the SM.79 participated in numerous military operations, including attacks on enemy naval convoys in the Mediterranean Sea, bombing missions on strategic targets, and participation in troop transport and supply operations.
However, as the conflict progressed, the SM.79 began to be overtaken by more modern and advanced Allied aircraft. Nevertheless, some examples continued to be used until the end of the war.
After World War II, the SM.79 was gradually withdrawn from active service and replaced by more modern aircraft. Nevertheless, the Savoia-Marchetti SM.79 remains an iconic and significant aircraft in Italian aviation history and a symbol of Italy's contribution to aviation technology during World War II.
