Hi all I insert two images of Regia Hurricane which, in my opinion, allows to see a close and clear image of the camouflage; the first one comes from the booklet "Dimensione Cielo" n°3 Edizioni Bizzarri, issued in Italy in the spring of 1972 and shows the airplane after its arrival at Ciampino in se...

I am very sorry, but the Caproni Ca 113 is not included in the range of my interest about Regia airplanes, so I never looked for documentation about it and, of course, I have nothing concerning the required documentatation Sorry Riccardo

Seaplanes lower surfaces color

The lower surfaces of Italian seaplanes had to be in Grigio azzurro chiaro, i.e. light grey with the exception of the surfaces under the floating lines which had to be in black; this is stated for the seaplanes after about October 1941, when the use of Tavola 10 became the rule. Riccardo

I want to highlight that the color drawing of the Br20 which shows 4 colors for the upper surface is the FIAT drawing n°3644 dated April 20th 1936 and is visible on the rear face of the cover of CMPR Notiziario 2/05; I think that this pattern can be compared with the color photos of band camouflaged...

Ciao Davide I had the same problem with Giallo mimetico 3; the solution, in my opinion, was given to me by Thomas Abbondi who, in a Editoriale of his magazine, explained the problem just speaking of a model of mine; his suggestion was to de-saturate the colors: for istance i mixed the Giallo with so...
