Welcome back Jean and I hope you're well. The unwritten rule on this site and forum is as you point out, see the Gallery and Color Guides (CMPR+Vito Charts) before starting a project, everything needed to build an accurate RA/ANR plane is contained in those pages. For cockpits the pertinent link is ...

I agree, the name plate is a nice touch. The Yahu engine detail is magnificent, it looks great. I know Gregory Alegi did a series of books on the Caproni Ca.3, unfortunately I don't have any of those books and more importantly for you I don't know if the books have accurate profiles. As always, chec...

Beautiful cockpit detail. Yahu instrument panels are amazing. I look forward to what you do with your Ca.3.

Welcome back Krzysztof. I look forward to following along.

Here's a video of an (early) OTO Melara 76mm gun (the original "Compact" variant with rounded cupola) aboard the USS Halyburton during live firing of single, double, triple and quadruple salvos. Skip to 1:20min of the video when the tests begin - firing continues till 2:20mins. Note the water jacket...

Admittedly tennis isn't a sport that's as popular as it should be amongst Italians (or at least the Italians I know), but Andre Agassi has been championing the sport in Italy for many years (as well as others) and this is the final and ultimate result - Victory at Wimbledon. The match started out as...

Hi Jeff, 1. Below is a photo of Azzurro 11 (160 and 161, Ref. D'Amico and Valentini, Camouflage and Markings of the ANR 1943-1945 p.99) at Lonate Pozzolo. The top wing markings for Azzurro 11 are incomplete - stencils were used to paint rough (initial) markings and the rest was filled in by hand. If...

Here's a quick build of a MB.326M/Impala Mk.I with the SAAF. The plane was locally constructed under license by Atlas in large numbers and was used in the tough battles in the South African Border war and in Angola in the 1970s and 1980s against insurgents and heavily armed Cuban forces. I used Stor...
