About product

Fiat CR.42 Falco 1:40, Smer

An injection-molded plastic kit of the Italian fighter biplane Fiat CR.42 Falco in the unusual scale of 1:40 from Smer. Note that this is not the usual 1:48, so the model is somewhat larger, which follows from the origin of the tooling. For the exact contents of the box and the marking options, follow the instructions enclosed. The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted.

The real subject

The Fiat CR.42 Falco was an Italian fighter biplane powered by a radial engine and one of the last biplane fighters built in series anywhere in the world. It first flew at the end of the 1930s and saw combat in the Second World War on several fronts. Although it was already obsolete against modern monoplanes, its agility and toughness were valued.

Building and painting tips

Seat the interplane struts precisely and do not forget the bracing wires: add them only after the varnish is on. The larger 1:40 scale shows the detail of the radial engine and the cockpit to better advantage, but it also shows any seams, which are best filled and sanded down. Spray the base over a primer; seat the decals on a gloss coat.

Who the model is for

  • For fans of Italian aviation of the Second World War
  • For collectors of biplanes who do not mind the unusual 1:40 scale
  • For modelers who want to try bracing wires and strut assembly
  • For lovers of the last combat biplanes

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

FAQ

That is the original scale of this Smer tooling; the model is therefore somewhat larger than the usual 1:48 kits. The 1:40 scale is correct for this kit, not a mistake.

It was one of the last biplane fighters built in series anywhere in the world and saw combat in the Second World War.

For a faithful biplane, yes: the bracing wires between the wings are added from fine thread, usually after the varnish is on.
