Widely used by the Regia Marina, during the Spanish Civil War, this type of aircraft was also delivered as support to Francoist naval forces, where it remained in service with the Spanish navy for years to come. It was primarily used for maritime reconnaissance and for artillery spotting for naval gunnery. Interestingly, the Ro.43 operated in the Mediterranean area and, after the civil war in the 1930s and 1940s, became a symbol of the modernization of Spanish naval aviation.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight:bold\"\u003eThe Special Hobby 48240 set\u003c\/span\u003e features a very detailed replica of the observer's open cockpit, realistically designed floats, and well-rendered engine and fuselage details.
