En model i vacuform av en IMAM Ro-44 från
Airmodel.(AM-108)
Som regel saknas ofta dekaler när det gäller modeller
i vacuform, så och i detta fall.
Från Wikipedia:
The IMAM Ro.44 was a fighter seaplane developed in Italy, a
single seater derivative of the Ro.43 that first flew in October
1936. While the Ro.43 had serious problems, the Ro.44 was an utter
failure. Armed with two 12.7 mm machine guns fitted in the nose,
the rear fuselage of the R.43 was redesigned to dispense with the
observer's position, and changes were made to the tail. Overall,
performance remained almost identical to that of the Ro.43,
although the Ro.44 was more maneuverable.
Although it was fast enough to intercept machines like the
Fairey Swordfish and Fairey Seafox, its actual performance (and
sea-keeping capabilities) was so poor, that out of 51 ordered, only
35 were produced. They were used only in the Aegean Sea, with 161
Squadriglia having seven examples in service at the beginning of
World War II but was soon retired from the front line and sent to
seaplane schools. This was the last OFM/IMAM biplane to be
designed.
