Hello my friends,

here are some sources, that I have used:

https://pilotodecombate.blogspot.com/20 ... le-of.html - 3D model of Br 20 M version

https://www.aereimilitari.org/forum/ind ... 0999&st=15 - detail drawings and pictures of wheel wels constructions and other

https://media.photobucket.com/image/fia ... br20-1.gif - "X-Ray" section

And of course, I have discussed this topic with my good friend Mirek "Glock" Říha :)

Some of these images I'm familiar with... but those showing the fuselage framework are new to me. Very useful!

Yes, I know, but my Fiat Br. 20 will be already finished at that time, because I´ve done the masks on my own. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
