Re: S.M.79 – II „Sparviero” 1:48 Trumpeter

Thanks so much RetiredInKalifornia! I don't want to invade Kriss' space as he illustrates his work to us. I will only mention one book, written however in Italian, which I consider very valid for understanding the aircraft and therefore knowing how to translate it into a model: Il Gobbo maledetto by...

Re: S.M.79 – II „Sparviero” 1:48 Trumpeter

Hi Kriss!! GREAT, GREAT choice!!! It's the aircraft I love most! I also had the opportunity to enter inside the example kept in Trento at the Caproni Museum (the only other survivor is in Vigna di Valle) and I won't deny that being inside I got shivers thinking about those young boys who, inside a s...

Re: VIDEO: Decima-Mas San Marco Rgt - April 29 1945

Hi Vince, Happy 2024 to you and everyone! Thank you for your answer which I read with great care. I don't think Churchill particularly cared about the city of Trieste and even less about Fiume and Dalmatia but I believe, as you rightly say, he tended to maintain a zone of influence where he had had ...

Re: VIDEO: Decima-Mas San Marco Rgt - April 29 1945

Thank you so much Vince for this post which contains a very precious testimony. I was born and live in Trieste so certain testimonies particularly touch me. Much, much still needs to be told about the events that happened in those terrible days: as is known, history is written by the winners. After ...

Degl'Innocenti --- Italian language - Camouflage and markings of the Aeronautica Nazionale Repubblicana - F. D'Amico/G. V...

Re: Piaggio P.108B, command cupola for Breda Z2 turret

The P.108 design solutions were avant-garde and significantly surpassed those of direct Allied competitors such as the B-24 Liberator or the B-17 Flying Fortress. But the step from the design phase to the construction phase was too long for the Italian industry of the time. The big Achilles' heel la...

Re: Piaggio P.108B, command cupola for Breda Z2 turret

Hi you all! Breda Z2 fuselage station were fixed and not rotating. The support beam (not a "tube") insn't clear in which position was fixed: on my model I've positioned it on 12 just for logical assumption. Gunners, which controlled electrically wing turrets, is not clear how do they could stand saf...

Re: SM 79 interior color questions

Hi everyone I'm reading just now this post and I wanted to add a testimony regarding the SM.79 interior colors. Here attached a couple of photos that I had the opportunity to take about 25 years ago: the plane is the Trento one. The interiors, as you can see, are original and you can see how Anticor...
