About product

1:72 Caproni-Vizzola F.6M from SBS Model

A resin kit of the Italian single-seat fighter prototype Caproni Vizzola F.6M in 1:72 scale. It is released by the Hungarian brand SBS Model, whose range of complete kits in this scale rests precisely on resin castings. It is therefore a kit for experienced modelers, not an ordinary injection-molded plastic model.

The real subject

The Caproni Vizzola F.6 was a family of Italian single-seat fighters designed at the end of the 1930s and tested during the Second World War. The Regia Aeronautica ran at that time into a long-standing problem with the power of domestic engines, and so the F.6M version received the British Rolls-Royce Merlin V12. The machine had a slender fuselage with a long engine section and aerodynamically clean wings, but it never reached series production and only a small number of prototypes were built. That is exactly why this is a subject you will practically never come across among ordinary kits.

Building and painting tips

First wash the resin parts in warm water with detergent to get rid of the mold release agent, otherwise the paint will not hold on them. Cut the casting blocks off with a saw or a cutting disc rather than breaking them, and protect your breathing while sanding. It is glued with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue), not with ordinary cement for plastic. Apply a primer before painting, which will at the same time reveal any remaining unevenness.

Who the model is for

  • Experienced modelers with experience of resin kits
  • Collectors of Italian aviation subjects and little-known prototypes
  • Anyone interested in subjects not available as an ordinary plastic kit
  • Builders who work with super glue and primer

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted as a resin kit. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The parts are cast in a mold, they sit on casting blocks and they are glued with super glue, not with cement for plastic. Before painting they have to be washed to remove the mold release agent.

It is better suited to more experienced builders. Cutting off the casting blocks, the fit and the work with super glue forgive mistakes less than a plastic kit does.

An Italian single-seat fighter prototype from the period of the Second World War, powered by the British Rolls-Royce Merlin V12. It never reached series production.
