The twin-engined IMAM / Romeo Ro. 57, powered by Fiat A 74 R.C.38 engines, was designed as an interceptor. During development and testing, the purpose was re-evaluated and the aircraft was modified for operational use as a fighter-bomber. The modified design was designated Ro.57bis. Originally, 200 production machines were ordered, but this quantity was reduced to 90, and only 60 were produced in total. The aircraft were operationally deployed within the 97° Gruppo from February 1943.

The kit consists of three sprues of plastic parts, and a sprue with clear parts. The plastic parts are supplemented with detailed resin parts and etches. The decals offer three machines in fighter-bomber configuration.

Kit Features:

One of only very few Italian twin engine fighter types
Fret of etches and resin cast parts included
Nationality: Italian
Producer: Special Hobby
