Directly derived by its predecessor, the S.M.75, it adopts the main features of the most traditional Savoia Marchetti production as the three radial engines configuration and the lay-out structure made by welded-steel tubes, wood, and fabric. The S.M.82 main strength was its wide fuselage capable of loading a significant amount of goods, materials and troops. The “Marsupiale” has been used to perform, successfully, tactical transport duties on all Italian military theaters of World War II, from Africa to Russia. It was also used for paratroops dropping. Even the German Luftwaffe recognized and appreciated the good features of the Italian aircraft. After the Armistice of 8 September 1943, the S.M. 82 were used by either the Italian Cobelligerent Air Force or the Repubblica Sociale Air Force. To point out the reliability of the project, after the war, some S.M. 82s continued in service with the Italian Aeronautica Militare until the early ‘60s.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: block;margin: 0 0 1em 0;line-height: 1.4;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: block;margin: 0 0 1em 0;line-height: 1.4;\"\u003e\u003cspan style='color: rgb(33, 43, 54); font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, \"San Francisco\", \"Segoe UI\", Roboto, \"Helvetica Neue\", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; display: inline !important; float: none;'\u003eBe sure to check out our aircraft accessories, metal barrels, and seat belts!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: block;margin: 0 0 1em 0;line-height: 1.4;\"\u003eWe are not responsible for any taxes, duty, VAT, customs or other fees on the receiver’s end.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: block;margin: 0 0 1em 0;line-height: 1.4;\"\u003eCheck out our other items, and save on shipping! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: block;margin: 0 0 1em 0;line-height: 1.4;\"\u003eTo receive combined shipping, place the items you wish to purchase in your cart and the discounted shipping will be calculated at checkout. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease complete all your shopping before checking out, we cannot combine shipping on separate orders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSorry, no shipping refunds can be given for combining separate orders.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Italeri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31779902783551,"sku":"ITA1389","price":53.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0032\/6762\/5029\/products\/1389_box.jpg?v=1581382559","url":"https:\/\/houseofhobbies.com\/products\/italeri-1-72-italian-sm-82-marsupiale-1389","provider":"Burbank's House of Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
