1/72 Fiat CR.42 Falco, VINTAGE Revell H-648
Another inspiration while reading R.S.Tucks biography, 'Fly for your Life', I did not know that the Regia Aeronautica sent aircraft to participate in the Battle of Britain. One learned fact the book does report was that the Fiat C.R.42 [...]

Camouflage & Markings: Fiat CR.42 Falco, the ultimate biplane fighter

ICM 1/32 Fiat CR.42AS
The latest off the slab, an ICM 1/32 Fiat CR.42AS built pretty much oob with a few tweaks to cockpit and air filter. Painted with Tamiya XF's and weathered with pastels. A quick, easy build and one that I can thoroughly recommend!

Italeri 1/48 Fiat CR.42 'Falco'
Well, another kit completed, this time, the long term project of the Fiat people voted for.
Firstly, I wanted to apologise to everyone who voted for this and wanted this to be completed back a year ago! I just never had the mojo to [...]
1:48 Fiat CR.42 (Italeri) Royal Hungarian Air Force 1942
Hi!
It's been a while I posted anything. I slowed down a bit but some work done recently among the "half-made stash". I started this kit a year ago parallel with the awful Artiplast CR.32 but couldn't decide what color fits to it [...]
Classic Airframes 1/48 Fiat CR.42 CN
The last of the great biplane fighters to enter service in 1938, the Fiat CR.42 “Falco” (Falcon) became the single most-produced Italian fighter. Agile, light, and regarded by Regia Aeronautica pilots as a wonderful aircraft to fly, [...]
