Product Description
- Introducing the completely new 1/72 Caproni B.72 injection plastic kit from Micromill of Ukraine.
- This ground-effect torpedo aircraft is believed to have been developed by the Italian Caproni in the 1930s.
- The aircraft was powered by two 1,000 horsepower Isotta Fraschini Asso 1000 W type 18-cylinder water-cooled engines with four-blade propellers, was armed with two 450 mm torpedoes and a defensive rear turret, and had an estimated speed of 65 to 80 knots (120 to 150 km/h).
- However, because it was thought that it would be difficult or impossible to maneuver in sea levels of 3 or higher (wave heights of 1.25m or higher), this plan remained only as a proposal.
- The kit comes with one decal.
- When completed, the total length will be approximately 140mm and the total width approximately 104mm.
- A plan for a fast torpedo boat conceived in 1930.
- It was conceived as a floatplane with the tail removed, with two engines powering propellers to allow it to glide over the water.
- Equipped with two torpedoes.
- Crew consists of two men: a driver and a rear gunner.
