1:144 S.A.M.L. S.2
This is a paintable 1:144 scale model of a S.A.M.L. S.2. Since many painters choose their own mounting system, no peg is included on the plane. Pegs can be purchased separately in the Accessories section of this catalog.
The S.A.M.L. S.2 was a development of the S.A.M.L. S.1, which was derived from the Aviatik Type P15. The wings were reduced in span and a bay was removed, which decreased drag at the expense of reduced climbing capability. Cameras were added as well as an overwing front-firing Revelli machine gun.
The S.2 filled an important gap between the Savoia-Pomilio pushers and the later Italian two-seaters such as the Pomilio PD/PE and Ansaldo SVA's. The lifetime of the S.2 was extended by the S.I.A. 7b debacle, but after better two-seaters became available the SAML planes were moved to training duty.
One unusual feature of the S.2 was uneven-span wings. The right wing was 5cm wider than the left, probably in an attempt to balance propeller torque.
