Hi Stefano, only looked in on the Stormo site for the first time in many months and found this excellent post. The new photos and inferred colours for the aircraft and Savoia emblem look very convincing. I think the effort that you and Pierluigi have put into this are appreciated by everyone - such ...

Hi Stefano, this reply seems to clarify things better - two reds, two greens, as I suspected. You may be right about the mice - probably a light,bright lime green. The Marrone Mimetico 2 issue was only an observation but was intriguing. Also, thanks for the information about the identity of the 'blu...

Hi Stefan, amazing work, and thanks for finding some detailed information on the colours. As I have the Methuen book the garnet red was easily tracked down anyway, and it is certainly a good basis to work on - after all, someone who uses the term 'garnet red' seems an intelligent source and it is su...

Kia ora Stefano! This is excellent news and confirms my suspicions that the band/flash was not the same as Verde Bandiera - this is pretty obvious in b/w. A dark (possibly blueish) grey-green is the way to go - I'll see if there are a few colour matches that might fit this description, in FS system ...

Almost all current and recent accounts and depictions of the SM 79 Corsa aircraft show them with a green fuselage flash. This seems logical and approp...

Hi Vince, I'm not convinced that the rosso corsa (a genuine colour) is the same as rosso bandiera but can't disagree with the greens. I've just noticed that Humbrol (at least) produce a 'Ferrari Red' in their gloss range - I'll go with this I think, at least for the colour match. Plenty of car model...

Hi, I know this may seem ridiculous but I cannot find a paint match for the Rosso Corsa as used on the SM 79 Corsa aircraft. In most photos it has a lighter tone than the Rosso Bandiera - I guess it is a brighter, more scarlet hue? Perhaps I should try and find a nearby racing Ferrari for a good loo...

Hi, I just thought I might add something to this discussion. Regarding 4-colours on Cr 32 on page 31 of Ali d'Italia just look at the middle photo opposite on page 30 - I would have thought this aircraft also shows quite clearly four colours on fuselage. As for page 31 - the lighting conditions on t...
