AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Description
table measures in cardboard - 61 x 43 cm
airplane MB-339A model measures - 51 x 18 cm
tube measures - 65 x 8.5 cm diameter
both plastic caps included, complete.
Original sheet in dedicated cardboard dedicated to the Aermacchi MB-339A of the Frecce Tricolori, published by Armando Curcio Editore.
The sheet features a large color illustration of the MB-339A in the distinctive livery of the Frecce Tricolori, with the number 7 on the rudder, and is designed to be cut out, folded, and assembled to create a three-dimensional model in cardboard. The item is presented uncut and unassembled, thus preserving the sheet in its original configuration.
At the bottom is printed the wording: “L’avioggetto MB-339A, realizzato dall’Alenia Aermacchi per l’Aeronautica Militare.”
Particularly interesting is the dry stamp directly impressed in the cardboard, with the circular inscription “Armando Curcio Editore,” the central word “DIAMANTE” and the related decorative graphic element.
On the lower right edge there is also a handwritten numbering “710/1000,” listed exactly as visible on the specimen. No editorial significance is attributed to the numbering beyond what is visibly evident.
Completing the lot is the original blue preservation tube in cardboard, also marked “Armando Curcio Editore” and decorated with images of aircraft in formation.
The aircraft depicted is the Aermacchi MB-339, a twin-seat, single-engine Italian aircraft designed and built by Aermacchi, successor of the MB-326. The PAN version is the one used by the Frecce Tricolori and is equipped with a smoke system for aerobatic displays. The MB-339 has been used by the Aeronautica Militare in trainer and light attack roles.
Aeronautica Militare
Technical specifications of the MB-339: length about 10.97 m, wingspan 10.85 m, height about 3.96 m, maximum takeoff weight about 5,900 kg, Rolls-Royce Viper Mk.632 engine of 17.8 kN, maximum speed about 900 km/h, range about 1,700 km, crew 1-2 pilots. The military version could carry up to 2,040 kg of external stores, including, depending on configuration, armament, rockets and auxiliary tanks.
