About product

Savoia-Marchetti S.79 Sparviero, volume 61 of the Warpaint series

A publication, not a kit. Volume 61 of the aviation series from the British publisher Warpaint Books, written by Richard J Caruana, is devoted to the Italian Savoia-Marchetti S.79 Sparviero. The text is in English and the softcover format matches A4.

The real subject

The Sparviero, that is sparrowhawk, was an Italian three-engine bomber of mixed wood and metal construction, and it cannot be missed thanks to the hump above the cockpit that held the upper gun. It grew out of a fast transport aircraft with which Italy collected a string of speed and distance records in the 1930s. It made its combat debut in the Spanish Civil War, but it went down in history as the main machine of the Italian torpedo units in the Mediterranean: it attacked low over the water against British convoys and against the forces heading for Malta. A twin-engine export version, the S.79B, was built as well; it reached Romania, Iraq and Brazil and differs in a completely different nose.

What the book contains

  • the development history of the type and its combat service
  • photographs of the machines in the individual versions
  • color profiles of camouflage and markings
  • scale drawings as a basis for a build

Who it is for

For modelers who build Italian subjects in 1:72 or 1:48 and want a basis for Regia Aeronautica camouflage, and for anyone interested in the war in the Mediterranean. The extent of the volume is not stated here; the number of pages differs between the individual titles of the series.

FAQ

It is not. It is a printed book about the real subject. There are no plastic parts or decals in the package; the publication serves as a basis for building and marking a model.

It grew out of a fast transport aircraft and was very fast for its time, so the Regia Aeronautica used it as a bomber and as a torpedo aircraft. The construction was mixed, wood and metal.

The twin-engine export version has a different nose and a different engine layout, which can be seen on the profiles and the drawings. The arrangement of the chapters is not stated here; the text is in English.

The number is not stated here. The extent differs between the volumes of the series and the figures given for this title do not agree. It is a softcover format close to A4.
