Macchi M.39 Schneider Trophy Winner 1926 Scale 1/72 Plastic Model (No Original Box)

Detailed Description

The Macchi M.39 was Italy’s 1926 entry for the Schneider Trophy, a famous international seaplane racing competition that helped advance high-speed aircraft design. Piloted by Major Mario de Bernardi, the M.39 achieved victory for Italy at Hampton Roads, USA, reaching a then-record speed of over 396 km/h (246 mph).

This 1/72 scale plastic model faithfully represents the sleek, twin-float racing aircraft in its distinctive red Italian Air Force scheme with silver floats. It is likely a hand-finished or small-run production kit, produced for collectors or model enthusiasts rather than mass retail.

The model is complete and assembled, measuring approximately 13 cm in length with a 15 cm wingspan, and comes without the original retail box.

An elegant display piece celebrating one of the most iconic racers of the Golden Age of Flight.
