Special Hobby 72397 Breda Ba.88B Lince 1/72 – Plastic Aircraft Model Kit

The Special Hobby 72397 Breda Ba.88B Lince 1/72 scale model is an excellent choice for aviation modeling enthusiasts interested in Italian aircraft from World War II. This kit accurately reproduces the heavy fighter/bomber Breda Ba.88B Lince—a machine that played an important, albeit controversial, role during the early years of combat on the Mediterranean front.

The Breda Ba.88B Lince was a twin-engine combat aircraft designed and manufactured in Italy by Società Italiana Ernesto Breda. Its main user was the Royal Italian Air Force (Regia Aeronautica). The aircraft entered service between 1939–1943. Despite its initial promise, it faced operational difficulties due to excessive weight and underpowered engines, which limited its real combat value during the North African campaign and the attack on Corsica in the early stages of World War II.

The Special Hobby model is made from high-quality plastic, ensuring excellent detail reproduction and perfect fit of structural components. The kit includes plastic frames with intricately detailed fuselage, wings, cockpit, and armament. The box also contains clear parts for cockpit glazing and decals that allow you to finish the model in various historical Regia Aeronautica color schemes. Glue and paints are not included—dedicated modeling products are recommended for the best visual effect.
