Characterised by a wooden structure, it featured the typical Italian three-engine configuration. More specifically, its three 1,000 hp Piaggio P.XI radial engines allowed the CANT Z.1007 to reach a maximum speed of 450 km\/h. The aircraft could carry 1,200 kg of offensive payload housed in an internal bomb bay. The crew typically consisted of five men, which could increase to six with the addition of a photographic operator for reconnaissance and maritime patrol missions. It was mainly employed in the Mediterranean, Balkan, and North African theatres of operation and is often considered the best medium bomber of the Regia Aeronautica.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eScale is 1:72\u003cbr\u003eSize of the model is 25.5cm\u003cbr\u003eMade under official Aeronautica Militare licence\u003cbr\u003eUnique and original WWII Italian bomber widely used on several operating fronts\u003cbr\u003eChoice of single or twin-finned tail versions\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Italeri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58100119994749,"sku":"ITA1479","price":29.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/6604\/3780\/files\/lujqmgdhttu.jpg?v=1777442880","url":"https:\/\/fieldsofglorymodels.co.uk\/products\/italeri-172-aircraft-canww2-italian-t-z1007-alcione-bomber-aircraft","provider":"Fields of Glory Models","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
