Product Description
- The M.39 is a seaplane built by the Italian company Aermacchi in 1926 for exclusive use in the Schneider Trophy race.
- Macchi raced in 1925 with the Macchi M.33 flying boat, a monoplane designed to reduce drag, but finished third.
- So Macchi wanted an entry for the Schneider Trophy with a seaplane-style aircraft modeled after the then-winning American Curtiss R3C-2.
- This aircraft was produced to stop the United States from winning the 3rd consecutive victory with Italy's all-out efforts, but although it adopted the seaplane style, the main wing followed the previous work and was made into a monoplane.
- The M.39 got its revenge by winning the 1926 Schneider Trophy race in Virginia, USA.
-The kit includes photo-etched parts, transparent film for the instrument panel, paint mask stickers, brass struts, and 3 types of decals (the 1st and 3rd machines that participated in the same race as the winning 5th machine).
- The SBS model full resin kit is a kit created from the modeler's point of view by the manufacturer, which puts the number of parts as compact as possible, giving top priority to the ease of making parts with delicate details that are difficult to reproduce with injection.
