- Introducing the 1/48 scale full resin kit from Vespa Model Kits of Peru
- The product we are introducing this time is a 1/48 scale licensed production of the Hungarian SBS Models' 1/72 scale Caproni Vizzola F.6 by Vespa.
- The kit includes clear resin canopy parts, photo-etched parts, and high-strength resin landing gear.

- The Caproni Vizzola F.6 was an experimental fighter aircraft designed and built by the Italian company Caproni.
- The F.6 was an aircraft that replaced the company's air-cooled radial engine F.5 fighter with a German-made DB-605A water-cooled inverted V-12 by attaching metal main wings to the fuselage of the F.5.
- Designated the F.6M (F being the initial of Fabrizi, the designer of the F.5, and [M] being Metallico), the new aircraft was to be armed with four 12.7 mm Breda SAFAT machine guns.
- The F.6M, which first flew in 1941, had deep radiator housings under the nose, but these created too much drag and were later moved to under the fuselage.
