Eduard 6481042 SM.79 wheels FLASHBACK 1/48 is a dedicated accessory set for modelers who want to replicate the Italian Savoia-Marchetti SM.79 bomber in 1/48 scale with the highest possible accuracy, especially for Flashback kits. The Savoia-Marchetti SM.79, also known as the “Sparviero,” was one of the most recognizable Italian bombers of World War II, extensively used by the Regia Aeronautica from 1936 to 1945. It saw intense action on the Mediterranean front, taking part in, among others, the battle for Malta and operations over the Mediterranean Sea, serving both as a classic bomber and an effective torpedo aircraft. Its crews particularly appreciated its high speed and agility, which stood out among aircraft of its class.

The Eduard 6481042 set offers modern wheels for the SM.79 model, made from high-quality polymer resin, ensuring an exceptional level of detail and faithful reproduction of the original’s unique features. The tread and wheel hub details were developed based on thorough analysis of historical specimens, visible in the subtle, realistic grooves and textures that far surpass standard plastic parts. Thanks to resin casting technology, modelers benefit from both crisp details and high resistance to mechanical damage during further processing and assembly.
