Ambrosini SAI 207 - 1/48 - LFM4801

The Ambrosini S.A.I. 207 was developed in the last dramatic phases of the war. It was a light interceptor built entirely of wood and was an extremely good aeroplane for the engine power it had. The S.A.I. Ambrosini 207 was based on the 107, which in turn was developed from the S7 light weight tourer and was powered by a Isotta Fraschini Delta RC40 engine fitted with two synchronised Breda Safat 12.7mm machine gun's. First flown in October 1940, this small light-weight all-wood aircraft was fast and even reached 560mph in a dive, proving that it's designer, ing. Stefanutti, had crafted a carefully worked out, clean and aerodynamic aircraft.

FIAT G.56 - 1/48 - LFM4805

'DB 603 Engine'. WWII Italian single-seat fighter aircraft combining the existing G.55 airframe with the German Daimler-Benz DB 603 engine (the only single-seat fighter in the axis inventory capable of accepting the engine in 1943). Production plans to produce the G.56 in Germany. Complete resin kit with decals, canopies.

Reggiane Re 2005 Sagittario - 1/72 - LFM7208

First flown in 1942 and considered by many as the most beautiful fighter of WWII, this powerful aircraft, heavily armed, extremely fast and maneuverable could have tilted the balance of airpower in the Mediterranean. Complete resin kit with decals, canopies.

Aeronautica Lombarda A.R. - 1/72 - LFM7233

'First and Second Prototypes'. WWII Italian radio controlled attack aircraft - piloted at takeoff and for initial guidance. Often referred to as the Italian "Mistel".

Reggiane Re 2005 DB605/VDM - 1/72 - LFM7241

Considered by many as the most beautiful fighter of WWII, this powerful aircraft, heavily armed, extremely fast (427mph at 20,000ft) and maneuverable could have tilted the balance of airpower in the Mediterranean if produced in sufficent quantity. German VDM propeller hub tested in 1943 and employed by the Luftwaffe over the Romanian oil fields and in the defense of Berlin. Complete resin kit with decals, canopies.

Caproni Ca.331C.N. Night figther - 1/72 - LFM7251

First flown in 1940 and reaching 300 mph at 16,750ft the Ca.331 demonstrated excellent handling qualities. A visiting German technical group was highly impressed and the prototype was tested at Rechlin in 1942 with production for the Luftwaffee in mind however, aluminium shortages thwarted the plan. The Regia Aeronautica adopted a three seat night fighter design with a stepped solid nose mounting six 12.7mm SAFATs. By Septmeber 1943 the plane was ready for mass production with components to be manufactured at Ponte San Pitero, Reggio Emilia and Trento however the Armistice put a stop to the plan.

Caproni Ca.331 O.A. Bomber - 1/72 - LFM7252

First flown in 1940 as a ligh reconaissance bomber reaching 300 mph at 16,750ft the Ca.331(A) demonstrated excellent handling qualities. The engines were Isotta-Fraschini Delta R.C.40 inline air-cooled units generating only 770hp each. The plane had a streamlined transparent nose similar to the Heinkel He.111 P & H. The plane carried three 12.7mm SAFATs two in the wing roots and one in a Caproni Lanciani dorsal turret plus a 7.7mm gun in a retractable ventral turret and 2200 lb bom load. A visiting German technical group was highly impressed and the prototype was tested at Rechlin in 1942 with production for the Luftwaffee in mind however, aluminium shortages thwarted the plan.

Savoia Marchetti SM.86W - 1/72 - LFM7257

The SM.86 was an aerodynamically refined vresion of the SM.85 (dive-bomber) with two Isotta-Fraschini Delta RC.40 engines. The plane first flew in 1938 and was tested over Malta but was not used operationally. Complete resin kit with decals, canopies.

Savoia Marchetti SM.86 (GAMMA) - 1/72 - LFM7258

The SM.86 was an aerodynamically refined vresion of the SM.85 (dive-bomber) with two Isotta-Fraschini Delta RC.40 engines. The plane first flew in 1938 and was tested over Malta but was not used operationally. Complete resin kit with decals, canopies.

Caproni AP-1 II.series - 1/72 - LFM7267

Originally designed in 1934 as a low-wing single seat fighter, the AP.1 was later developed into a two-seat reconnaissnace and attack plane when it became outmoded for the fighter role. Fixed under carriage and fitted with two machine guns and powered by a Piaggio IX RC nine-cycinder engine. Complete resin kit with decals, canopies.

Caproni-Vizzola F.4 - 1/72 - LFM7272

Developed in 1938 in parallel with the similar radial-engined F.5, the F.4 low wing single seat fighter was originally to have employed a 960hp Isotta-Fraschini Asso 121 tweleve cylinder vee engine, but the deceision was made instead to incorporate the 1175hp DB601A. The F.4 successfully completed its trials and demonstrated excellent manuevrability, but was dropped in favor of the more advanced DB.605 powered F.6. Complete resin kit with decals, canopies.

Caproni-Vizzola F.6M - 1/72 - LFM7274

The F.6 was created by mounting a 1475 hp DB.605A to a pre-production F.5 airframe. Further prototypes featured all metal construction and were designated F.6M (metallico). The license built version of the DB.605A, designated R.A.1050 R.C.58 Tifone would power all subsequent machines. Armament consisted of four 12.7mm SAFATs and the plane reached 353mph.

Ansaldo AC.3 - 1/72 - LFM7275

Single seat fighter designed in the mid-1920s. Complete resin kit with decals, canopies.

Caproni-Vizzola F.6Z - 1/72 - LFM7281

This was the twenty four cylinder 1150hp Isotta-Fraschini Zeta R.C.35 X-type installed in the F.6M in mid-1943 and thus designed F.6MZ (Zeta). With compression the engine increased output to 1250hp and the plane reached a maximum speed of 404mph. Complete resin kit with decals, canopies.

Piaggio P.32 I.series - 1/72 - LFM7284

Built in 1936, the P.32-I was powered by 820hp Isotta-Fraschini Asso XI R.C. twelve cylinder water cooled vee engines and had retractable dorsal and ventral gun tirrets.
