Fiat CR.42 Falco was the last successful combat biplane fighter, serving as the Regia Aeronautica’s main fighter at the outbreak of World War II. It was characterized by excellent maneuverability and structural durability. The aircraft saw widespread use in the North African campaigns, the Battle of Britain, and the Eastern Front, and continued to perform combat and training missions until the end of the war.

The Eduard 33270 set allows for the faithful reproduction of key cockpit details, pilot seat belts, instrument panels, and other characteristic interior elements that cannot be achieved using default plastic parts. Each detail has been designed based on historical documentation and archival photographs.

We recommend this product to experienced modelers wishing to build a realistic large-scale replica of the CR.42. This set will provide your model with increased collector value and the satisfaction of working on an accurate historical aircraft representation.
