The Savoia-Marchetti S.55A is a famous Italian flying boat featuring a twin-fuselage construction and a centrally mounted wing with two engines. Designed in 1924, it gained fame thanks to record-setting transatlantic flights, notably organized by General Italo Balbo during air raids to Brazil and the USA. The aircraft was widely used in Italian military aviation as a transport and reconnaissance seaplane up until the late 1930s. Additionally, civilian versions served in passenger and mail flights.

The Dora Wings model has been designed with attention to historical details, faithfully reproducing the distinctive twin-fuselage structure as well as the unique cockpit and engine details. The kit includes precisely molded plastic sprues, clear parts for the glazing, and a set of decals for various marking options.
