Savoia-Marchetti S.55 - Dora Wings 1/72

(1/6) > >>

Rod The Fixer:
Hi all,
I'm start to build the S.55 flown by the italian aviator Francesco de Pinedo (February 16, 1890 – September 2, 1933).
In 1927, with Carlo Del Prete and the engineer Vitale Zacchetti, De Pinedo flew on this Savoia-Marchetti S.55, called "Santa Maria", from Elmas (Sardinia, Italy) to the Cape Verde Islands, to Buenos Aires and finally reached Arizona.

I love the odd looking flying wing/catamaran layout of the S.55, I look forward to seeing your progress.
