Fantazzini photos

Ciao The first photo is the one already mentioned, I posted it only to have a reference to the image of the pilot, as in the second photo, in my opinion, the same person appears; what do you think? The Cr42 in the second photo (from the Malizia book dedicated to the Cr 42) the airplane code is 368-1...

No, the quality of the photo is not good, so I think it is correct to have a background in mimetic yellow with very large splotches of mimetic green and mimetic brown which let only small areas of visible yellow.

G50 Airfix

In 1981 Club Modellismo Plastico Ravenna (CMPR) which is one of the most experienced and documented in Italy about Regia Aeronautica airplanes issued a Notiziario dedicated to the correction to be performed on this kit; of course the article, that is very long, is in Italian. Let me know if you coul...

Cr42 nightfighters

It is not easy to find photos that show the wings upper surfaces of dark camouflaged Cr42s; the most of the photos I know have no insigna on the upper surfaces; for instance no insigna is visible on the upper wings of the 377-4 at Palermo-Boccadifalco at the end of 1942. For the color to be used for...

C205/202 drawings

I think you can rely on Brioschi drawings; I am in touch with him and I know he could consult original drawings from Aermacchi archives; furthermore, if you consider the 1/48 scale C205 the drawings , you can see that they are a bit longer with respect to the lenght (reported in scale) declared on t...
