AIRFIX AIR04007V SAVOIA-MARCHETTI SM79 (1/72)

The Savoia-Marchetti SM.79 was an Italian three-engine bomber that became one of the most famous aircraft used by the Regia Aeronautica (Italian Royal Air Force) during World War II. Originally designed in the early 1930s as a fast passenger aircraft, the SM.79 was later adapted for military use as a medium bomber and torpedo bomber. Its distinctive humpbacked fuselage earned it the nickname "Gobbo Maledetto" (The Damned Hunchback). The SM.79 saw extensive action in the Mediterranean and North African theaters, where it was particularly effective in maritime strike roles.
