[Part of my scaled WW2 series - All aircraft built to scale, with accurate weights, speeds and flight characteristics to the original.]
The best known Italian aircraft of the war, this three engined medium bomber featured low set wings with high wing loading that gave it characteristics not dissimilar to a large fighter. Torpedo armaments turned this aircraft into the deadliest anti-shipping warplanes of the Mediterranean isles.

@ChiChiWerx I'm not suprised, designing the humpback is a bitch.
I don't think I've ever seen a Savoia-Marchetti SM.79 on the site before, nice build, keep it up!
