Italeri Amx-T Twin Seater 1471
The Amx "Ghibli" Single-Engine Ground Attack Aircraft Was The Result Of A Collaborative Project Between The Italian And Brazilian Aviation Industries. The Project Was Initiated In The 1980S To Replace The Dated Italian Air Force’S Fiat G-91Y Fighter-Bomber. The Brazilian Air Force Also Needed To Replace Their Italian Made Mb-326S.
The Amx Had An Aerodynamic Lay-Out Characterized By A High Swept Wing, And With Its Rolls-Royce Spey 807 Engine Could Attain A Maximum Speed Of 1,000 Km / H. The Italian Version Was Armed With A 20 Mm M61 Cannon And Could Carry An Offensive Payload Of 3,800 Kg. The Two-Seat Amx-T Version Was Established And Developed As An Advanced Training Aircraft, But It Could Also Be Deployed On Combat Missions In A Ground Attack And Close Support Role. Italy Acquired 26 Axm-T’S For The Italian Air Force.
