Publisher's Description of COBI Fiat G. 55 Centauro - 192 pieces (World War II Historical Collection)
The Fiat G.55 Centauro was one of the most important Italian fighters during World War II. Its advanced design and good performance made it a dangerous opponent in air combat. The plane was appreciated by both Italian pilots and opponents who had to fight it.
Made of 192 elements, the plane introduces a breath of Mediterranean freshness to the COBI collection. The model has camouflage from the theater of operations in the Mediterranean basin. The emblems of the Italian air force are presented with durable and indelible prints.
The Fiat G.55 Centauro was an Italian fighter plane from World War II, designed by Fiat. It first flew in 1942 and was considered one of the best fighters produced by Italy at the time. It was powered by a German Daimler-Benz DB 605 engine, which gave it good speed and maneuverability. Armed with cannons and machine guns, the G.55 stood out for its superior performance at high altitudes. Although its production was limited, it gained the respect of both Italian and German pilots.
The COBI World War IIHistorical Series sets feature tanks, aircraft, ships, and other vehicles of both sides of combat. Each set includes one or more characters which match the theme and ranking of the vehicle. Depending on the model, individual sets each feature various moving components such as gun barrels, turrets, tracks, wings, propellers, engine compartments, and more.
