Stefano, CR.32s were finished in the early Serie Mimetica colors GM1, VM1, MM1.

Jean used GM3, Gunze H302 for VM and Mr. Kit for MM. Here's Jean's work:
Jean's AOI Fiat CR.32

And here are the Color Guides for reference:

The colors in the instructions for 410-8 are completely wrong, NC4 and VOS2 didn't appear in a Directive until the end of 1941. VOS2 is 34052 not 34062.

I haven't looked at the photo but use the profile from Ali e Colori #7 for 410-8, the colors are GM3, VM3 and MM2, lower surfaces Grigio Mimetico:

Hi Vince
Do you have any reference or table [like the one you set me already in this post] of the colors used from the FIAT factory in Italy on the Fiat CR 32
destined to equip groups of the Regia in North Africa ?
In particular i need planes colors for CR 32s aircrafts going to be delivered in Libia 1940
possibly 160 sq
will you be able to help posting?
thanks very much indeed
Stefano
