Italeri 2724S Classic Douglas P-70 Night Fighter 1/48  [IT-2724S]

Scale Model of the Douglas P-70 Night Fighter

The Italeri 2724S kit recreates the Douglas P-70, converted from the A-20 Havoc for night combat during World War II. It highlights systems used for nocturnal interception and concentrates on the aircrafts radar housing and heavy forward firepower for a faithful scale build.

The operational P-70 used twin Wright R-2600 Cyclone engines and could reach speeds in excess of 500 km/h, evidence of its performance. The kit captures the glazed nose, external radar details and the four 20 mm cannons mounted under the fuselage.
