Starting from the great success of the C.R. 32 Arrow which proved reliability and operational efficiency during the Spanish Civil War Fiat developed the new C.R. 42 Hawk. The new single-seater biplane fighter had like its predecessor the fixed trolley and the open cab but was equipped with some innovations such as the structure entirely in aluminium and steel covered in metal and canvas. Its air-cooled radial engine Fiat A.74 allowed the Fiat C.R. 42 to reach 400 km/h. It was equipped with an extraordinary maneuverability much appreciated by pilots but suffered from the limitations of the biplane configuration that affected its operational performance in comparison with the most modern and powerful monoplane fighters. A version dedicated to the Night Hunt was created with extended drains to reduce visibility to the enemy during the night. For collectors over 14 years of age
The Italeri 1485 FIAT CR.42 CN Falco Night Fighter 1:72 Scale Plastic Model Kit/Model Assembly is ideal for model airplane builders seeking a detailed and accurate replica of the CR.42 CN Falco night fighter aircraft.
