I agree with you about national politics, infact Tuscany government doesn't like to out first minister but all his tempt...

There is an interesting article about the use of Breda 65 in AS, in the Italian magazine Sky Models #4, which includes many of the information you are looking for. I can provide you it, but the article is in Italian and it is impossible for me to translate it into English. Inform me about your decis...

Hopining to have correctly understood the question, I invite you to have a look to the C205 352-2, photocolor at page 14-15 of the book "The Messerschmitt 109 in Italian Service" by D'Amico-Valentini; the script on the rudder is: Aeronautica Macchi C205 V SERIE - I Let's now consider the b/w photo o...

It is a worderful surgery operation!! The purpose of my comment was only to point out this detail for modelers in general, not to oblige you to this hard operation! I think that if the operation did not have good results you would have hated me for all the life, so I am very lucky it was succesful! ...

I have the original CMPR chips and I went very near to the Grigio azzurro chiaro chip with the Tamiya mixture obtained adding 0.7 cm3 XF27 to a bottle of XF19. Try to believe.

I want to precise that the request I received concerned Fiat G55, aeroplanes produced after the introduction at the end of 1941 of the use of Tavola 10 colors, so the mentioned rules are applicable following that date. I attach an image of Cr42 used as night fighter, where it is possible to discern ...

Please Lubos let me know how did you reproduce the instrument table in the cockpit
Thank you

Some witnessings refer for FIAT till from 1943 the use of a yellowish paint and this color is present also in the Vitochart table concerning the paint use in Regia Aeronautica from 1916 to 1943(chips 17 and 23), but this information is generally deemed not sure: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v29...

Hi Lubos If I am allowed, my adivices are: Fiat used light grey as anticorrosion paint, as referenced in the Fiat G50 manual, I have inserted this information on Stormo color reference. Furthermore I think that the wings rear edge should be better more thin. Very nice instrument board; how did you i...
