Italeri FIAT CR.42 CN “Falco” Night Fighter 1/72 1485

SUPER DECALS SHEET FOR 5 VERSIONS – COLOR INSTRUCTION SHEET

FIGURE NOT INCLUDED

Starting from the great success of the C.R. 32 “Freccia” biplane, which proved its reliability and operational efficiency during the Spanish Civil War, Fiat developed the new C.R. 42 “Falco” at the end of the 1930s. The new single-seat biplane fighter retained the fixed landing gear and open cockpit of its predecessor but introduced several innovations, such as an entirely aluminum and steel structure covered with metal and fabric. Its air-cooled radial engine, the Fiat A.74, allowed the C.R. 42 to reach a top speed of 400 km/h. The aircraft was characterized by exceptional maneuverability, highly appreciated by pilots, but suffered from the inherent limitations of the biplane configuration, which hindered its operational performance compared to more modern and powerful monoplane fighters. A dedicated Night Fighter version was produced, featuring extended exhausts to reduce visibility to the enemy during nighttime operations.
