Fiat CR.42 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Fiat CR.42 Falco ("Falcon") was a biplane which served as the primary fighter aircraft of Italy's Regia Aeronautica at the outbreak of World War II. CR.42 was exported to Hungary, Belgium, and Sweden. CR.42 were usually armed with 2x 12.7 mm machine guns; in order to save weight and improve dogfighting ability, often a field modification was carried out, replacing one of the 12.7 mm machine guns with a 7.62 mm machine gun. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Fiat_CR.42   (702 words)

Fiat Cr.42 Falco by John Valo (Classic Airframes 1/48) In 1995, Classic Airframes released a new-tool true 1/48 scale kit of the CR.42 which, despite some minor inaccuracies, was a vast improvement over the older kit, albeit a fairly challenging kit for experienced modelers. I did note that the CR.42 had two small intakes at the wing roots which aren't represented in the kit. I chose to model the somewhat famous Yellow-cowled CR.42 that wound up crash-landing in England and survives in the RAF museum in Hendon. hsfeatures.com /features04/fiatcr42jv_1.htm   (953 words)

Matchbox 1/72 Fiat CR.42 Falco The Fiat CR42, known as the "Falco" (falcon in English), was one of the last biplane fighters in the world, and first flew in 1938. After the Italian armistice in 1943, the CR42 fought on both sides, with the Luftwaffe taking over the few that remained in north Italy, using the CR42 in Russian-style tactics that employed older planes at night for ground attack raids. After 1940, CR42s were withdrawn from northern Europe, but fought on in Greece, the Balkans, and in north Africa, where they at least held there own against the antiquated RAF biplanes operating in that theatre. www.fortunecity.com /meltingpot/portland/971/Reviews/axis/cr-42-falco.htm   (922 words)

AIRshows America - NASA and Military Aviation Memorabilia - Fiat CR-42 Falco Biplane Fighter Italian Air Force WWII The Fiat CR.42 was to see combat throughout WWII and, curiously, was to fight against the Luftwaffe, alongside the Luftwaffe and with the Luftwaffe itself. This model is an authentic replica of the Fiat CR-42 that was flown by the Italian fighter pilots of WWII when they were aligned with the Axis forces. Extremely light on the controls, universally viewed as a delight to fly, superbly agile and innately robust, the CR.42 synthesised a decade-and-a-half of continuos fighter development; it was a thoroughbred with a distinguished pedigree carrying fighter biplane evolution to its apex. airshowsamerica.biz /store/customer/product.php?productid=257&cat=7&...   (210 words)

A Re-Evaluation of Regia Aeronautica Camouflage 1940 by Steven "Modeldad" Eisenman I do not believe that one or two Fiat CR 42s slipped through with aluminum doped (presumably that is what the silver was) undersides, long after the time when that practice should have ceased. The pictures of a Belgian CR 42, still with the Italian serials on it, show it in a camouflage pattern that appears to be “stringy” and in what appears to be a single color. The fact that the CR 42s were new is confirmed by information that indicates aircraft 13-95 was produced around the end of August 1940, and 16-85 was produced around the end of September 1940. www.clubhyper.com /reference/racamo1940se_1.htm   (3021 words)
