The Fiat CR.42 Falco was a biplane designed by the Italian Fiat Aviazione in 1938. It was used primarily by the Aeronautica Nazionale Repubblicana (ANR) during World War II, particularly during the Battle of Britain. Although the CR.42 was quickly overtaken by more modern aircraft such as the Supermarine Spitfire and Messerschmitt Bf 109, it remained in service throughout the war, particularly in support and escort missions.
The Night Fighter version of the CR.42 was specially modified for night combat, equipped to navigate and fight in low visibility conditions. These aircraft were essential in countering enemy air raids at night, providing a defence for Italy during the darker phases of the conflict.
This 1:72 scale model brings to life a fascinating period in military history and offers an excellent opportunity to discover the history of this unique fighter aircraft.
