 Italeri 1:72 Savoia-Marchetti SM.79
One of my first questions on examining the kit was "which version of the SM.79 is this?".
Italeri don't tell you, but it seems likely that it is an SM.79-II, based on the presence of a ventral gondola (absent on most -III series Sparvieri) and the provision of a 12.7 mm machine gun rather than a 20 mm cannon for the forward-firing armament.
That they would invest the time and costs of tooling such a relatively large aircraft is an encouraging sign, and I think this kit justifies their confidence.

 Savoia-Marchetti SM.79 - Italy
In spite of its cumbersome appearance and outdated steel tube/wood/fabric construction, the S.M.79 was a rugged, reliable multi-role medium bomber which did quite a bit of damage in the face of heavy opposition.
The SM.79 had a distinctive 'hump' on the upper forward fuselage, which housed both the fixed forward-firing heavy machine-gun and the dorsal gunner's position.
The SM.79-I established an excellent reputation in combat with the Aviacion Legionaria in Spain in 1936-1939.

 Torpedo Bombers
The Savoia Marchetti SM.79 was designed during the mid-thirties as a military version of the civilial transport SM.79P.
Meantime, the "Reparto Sperimentale Aerosiluranti" (Experimental torpedo-bomber group) assembled in Gorizia at the beginning of 1940 received the Savoia Marchetti SM.79 which, although not originally designed as a torpedo bomber, was a strong, fast and maneuverable aircraft far superior to the British Swordfish.
The limitations imposed by the original design of the aircraft for civilian use were many, so in 1940 it was decided to begin working on a successor, the Savoia Marchetti SM.84.

 Cybermodeler Online - Trumpeter 1/48 Savoia Marchetti SM.79 Sparviero
The Savoia Marchetti SM.79 is probably the most recognizable aircraft to serve in the Italian Air Force during World War II.
The SM.79 was used as a bomber and transport during the Italian alliance with Nazi Germany, but it gained its 'fame' as a torpedo bomber in the Mediterranean.
Shortly after reviewing the CA SM.79 kit, I received a nice email from one of our Italian readers who provided some drawings that show that the nose of the CA kit slopes up from the bottom and slopes down from the top too abruptly.

 1/72 Airfix SM 79 by Mark Davies
The SM 79 was one of the most important Italian bombers of World War II.
I have always had a soft spot for the SM 79 due, I think, to its combination of historic interest, fine lines with a touch of quirky ugliness and many appealing colour schemes.
My SM 79 has added scratch-built interior detail and a superb Falcon vac-form canopy and hump that corrects Airfix's incorrectly profiled hump.

There are seven clear parts which are not all that clear and typical of Airfix quality - the fuselage windows are joined together in one strip and are not individual.
Decal placement is not really explained with only basic info provided and the decals already on the aircraft - but this should not present any real concerns because there are only a few decals in the kit anyway.
Versions: Only one torpedo-armed version is produced in the kit S.M.79, 252a Squadrigilia, 104o Gruppo Autonomo AS, Raggrupamento Aerosilurante, Regia Aeronautica, Siena, Italy 1942-3 (say that with a mouthful of soap!).
