If ever there was a little flying boat that simply “looked right”, it was the delightful and long-lived Macchi series. In the latest DataFile, Albatros Productions cover the M.7 that served until the eve of WW2:

WINDSOCK DATAFILE No. 162 - MACCHI M.7
by Gregory Alegi

Noted Italian aero historian and researcher Gregory Alegi has the full story of this classic Italian flying boat fighter that enjoyed such a phenomenally lengthy and active career from 1918 to the 1930s.

Serving with several nations in the post-WWI years, examples of the speedy flying boat were entered into Schneider races. Both M.7 and uprated M.7ter variants are fully described in our 162nd DATAFILE with detailed 1:72 and 1:48 scale drawings for each. The new DF contains over 70 rare archive photos, colour images of a rare survivor during restoration, plus six highly diverse and
colourful profiles from Ronny Bar. Gregory Alegi's latest is topped off by Roberto Zanella's stirring front cover art.
