Italeri 1/72 Cant-z 501 Model Kit

The CANT Z.501 Gabbiano (Gull) was an Italian flying boat that served as the Regia Aeronautica's primary maritime reconnaissance platform during WWII. This elegant single-engine monoplane flying boat featured a parasol wing mounted on struts above the hull. The Z.501 set multiple distance records in the 1930s before serving throughout the Mediterranean and North African theaters. This 1/72 scale Italeri kit preserves a distinctly Italian seaplane design that few other manufacturers have covered.
