The Savoia-Marchetti SM.79 bomber is one of the most famous Italian aircraft of World War II. Initially designed as a fast passenger plane in the 1930s, it was later adapted to serve as a light bomber and torpedo aircraft, used extensively in aerial operations over the Mediterranean Sea and North Africa between 1936–1945. The plane was renowned for its performance and durability, and thanks to the use of modern, three-bladed propellers – characteristic for this aircraft – it earned the nickname “gobbo maledetto” (damned hunchback).

The propellers in the Eduard 6481043 set have been reproduced with photographic accuracy regarding the shape of the blades, their proportions, balance, and hub details. Features such as technological separations, joining lines, and the distinctive aerodynamic profile allow for a realistic appearance of the model, providing a much better effect than the original plastic parts. The possibility to display open engines and the drive mechanism makes this set a must-have addition when building SM.79 models – especially for detailing enthusiasts.

The Eduard 6481043 SM.79 propellers FLASHBACK 1/48 set is recommended especially for Italian aviation enthusiasts and modelers who value the highest level of detail in their projects. The straightforward assembly makes it an excellent choice for intermediate and advanced modelers wishing to enrich their SM.79 model with professionally reproduced drive components.
