The Macchi M.C.72 is a high-quality, photo-real 3D model of the legendary Italian racing seaplane that set a world speed record for piston-engine seaplanes that stood for decades. This asset captures the peak of Golden Age racing technology, featuring its signature dual-propeller contra-rotating system designed to eliminate torque. The model is presented in its iconic high-visibility racing red livery, accented with gold-toned surface radiators on the wings and floats, and the Italian tricolor on the vertical stabilizer.

The model is built with high-accuracy geometry and utilizes clean, base-color shading suitable for various lighting environments. All renders are provided without post-processing.

Suitable for all major 3D software suites, including Blender, 3ds Max, Maya, and Unreal Engine. Ideal for historical air-racing simulations, technological documentaries, and museum-grade visualizations of record-breaking aviation.

Features:

High-quality polygonal model, correctly scaled to represent the dimensions of the original record-breaking racing aircraft.

Model is fully textured with all materials applied (Interior + Exterior).

Accurate representation of the massive FIAT AS.6 V24 engine housing and the specialized contra-rotating dual three-blade propeller system.

Detailed surface-mounted skin radiators modeled on the wings, fuselage, and floats for authentic cooling system representation.

Detailed open-cockpit section with realistic interior elements and streamlined windscreen.

Realistic twin-float assembly with high-tension structural wire bracing and aerodynamic support struts.

All textures and materials are included in the package.

Blender objects are logically named and organized for easy scene integration.
