1&2 are the Vigna di Valle machine, the photos were probably photoshoped (aged) Ok, now I got it :thumbup: Thank you for debunking the fake 1&2. Here's sample photos of one of my Special Hobby Macchi C.200 builds in CMPR Schema C8 "Poached Egg" A beauty! I feel envious of the detailed productions d...

So we can assume that 369-1 in photo 1/2 vs 3 are either different machines or repainted?
We note also that the Scarabocchio insignia under the cockpit is different.

Thanks for your reply, "Ali a colori" means "Wings in color". The book is a collection of color photos. Some are colored b&w and also captionned as such, some are real color. Here is the plane I am interested in. None of the 3 has a useful caption. Although not mentionned, I suspect these are colore...

Following the profile in "Ali e colori 2" this machine is often modelled with the poached egg Macchi style camo. I wonder if this is correct. In "Ali a colori" (by Matteo Cornelius Sullivan, YouCanPrint, 2021) page 63, some photos look rather like a Breda style camo. Actually, a camo very similar to...

Thanks for your reply, The source is a pdf article I downloaded years ago. AlieuominiTitolo.JPG The link seems not to exist anymore - or is it the facebook site alieuomini.it (?) (I am not on facebook) Not sure if I can upload the complete pdf, let me know.. The caption says: Non stilizzata, a color...

Apparently this was a typical IMAM prewar insignia with its realistic fasces. Are there any photos out there where it can be seen?
What was the corresponding underside version?

Thanks for the feedback, wish there was a 3rd edition of the book

There appears to be a contradiction in CMPR page 76

On top of the page we read
Imam Ro 37 schema raffigurato nel chip C1...(foto 53)

But the caption at photo 53 says it is C10B

Which is right?

Is the 3-color schema really confirmed on this plane? Many color plates depict a 2-color camo.

Bellissimo! Wish I had your patience and skill

Did the Caproni 133T assigned to the fighter sq have defensive weapons or were they completely unarmed? In Harveys model can assume that the dorsal turret is missing or instead, represented in retracted position? https://www.stormomagazine.com/ModelArticles/Ca133/HarveyLow/Ca133T_HL_1a.html Thanks i...

I have found following image on pinterest. Can anyone tell from what publication it was taken? Looks rather old, similar to "dimensione cielo" RS14FromPinterest.jpg Remarks about coloring look interesting ("..queste indicazioni si ricavano da fotografie in possesso del Ing. Postiglioni") Any opinion...

Thanks, good to know about the existence of such a document. Will try to imitate Richard's excellent work.

Hi all, this is my first posting in this forum, surely not the last. I am about to decide how to paint my S.74 in 1/200. The few photos in the internet give no clue as to whether the background colour is rather a (darker)VM or (lighter)GM. The same photo of 604-8 can be interpreted one way or other....
