IPMS/USA Quarterly article
Digging through old IPMS/USA Quarterlies, I came across the following which may be of some interest:
"Italian Camouflage & Markings" by Steve Cook, IPMS Quarterly Vol. 18, No. 3 (Spring, 1983), p. 43-48.

Brief Appearance Here...
...If same with Giorgio Apostolo's 1977 CMPR/GAVS - based contemporary Humbrol enamel color formulas then I'd read it given was IPMS #15018 subscribing to the quarterlies till 1991. IF I also known about VITO Charts Italian color research then still been difficult deciding which to rely on given I'd have to figure out my own color formulas this decades before STORMO Magazine et. al. Internet research resources came available. Too bad as well majority of my pre-2015 "Italians" builds won't past muster with research posted on STORMO since, precisely why ain't worthwhile posting photos of them there though will be photographing every single build for posterity beginning this spring.davenport49 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 08, 2021 9:28 amDigging through old IPMS/USA Quarterlies, I came across the following which may be of some interest:

Re: IPMS/USA Quarterly article
Hi, Richard;
Nope, not dealing with CMPR/Vito/Humbrol. Cook gives brief history, numerous illustrations of insignia, illustrations of aircraft markings (data block, manufacturer logo, stenciling, etc.), and numerous profiles of a number of different aircraft. All illustrations are black/white, but may be some useful information for some.

OK...
...Then formulas were in another IPMS Quarterly, painted three SUPERMODEL C.202s with them in 1990, still have the models.davenport49 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 09, 2021 7:29 amHi, Richard;

Re: IPMS/USA Quarterly article
Thanks for the Update Richard. You should scan the article and post here, it should be interesting to see if S. Cook found anything new.

Hmmm...
...Probably read it when was published; Squadron's publications already out then, likely used them along with 1960s Profiles as references for building Italian aero subjects prior to December 1992 when quit building till 2004.Editor wrote: ↑Sun Mar 21, 2021 7:19 pmBelow is a link to "Italian Camouflage & Markings" by Steve Cook, IPMS Quarterly Vol. 18, No. 3 (Spring, 1983), p. 43-48.

Yes, PDF Did Load...
...Took about 12 seconds. Prior to 1978 I'd not seen native-published Italian aero research publications for sale in local hobby stores & booksellers, 1984-90 came across & bought some, all given away by 1994, pined mainly for third-party Italian aero subject decals ETRL-ESCI & Microscale all could get hands on up till 1992 those I'd not known about before then came across via the Internet after 1997. From 2006 onward was able to get near all publications well as third-party decals necessary to build my Italian aero subject model collection, fate or fortuity that's how it worked out only regretting I'd not been able to buy the less than 20 or so long out of production 1/72 scale model kit subjects spent fruitless years searching for.davenport49 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 24, 2021 9:43 amRichard;

Re: Yes, PDF Did Load...
I'm surprised it took that long, the server isn't far from you in Sunnyvale, you must have a slow connection because it loads faster for me.

HAD The Models Till June 16, 2021...
Here's never before posted on the Internet sample last photos of them taken months before were given away:RetiredInKalifornia wrote: ↑Tue Mar 09, 2021 6:28 pm...Then formulas were in another IPMS Quarterly, painted three SUPERMODEL C.202s with them in 1990, still have the models.davenport49 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 09, 2021 7:29 amHi, Richard;

Till c. November 4, 2015 they & display case sat on top of my late folk's Cameron Park house 18 x 20 foot living room fireplace hearth. The case & models never got hot during summer though sometimes got quite cold during winter. The living room was rarely used, perfectly preserved they were, shouldn't have given them away but did. The completely dust-proof display case was prototype for all others Tap Plastics of Sacramento & Stockton California fabricated for me 2004 to 2020, expensive but well worth it given not a single model got so much as a speck of dust on them!
Re: IPMS/USA Quarterly article
Richard, did you give away your G.12T?

Yes...
...Every model was given away. G.12T was large & very heavy but main landing gear was solid, tail wheel me thinks also. The Ballaton S.75 also was large & heavy, had very weak landing gear, worst large "Italian" I'd built of the collection, beyond horrible wing-fuselage joins, no possible way I could had filled them without spending good deal of time & effort, just wasn't worth it! As you et.al. noted when I'd built the G.12T camo scheme wasn't kosher but me thinks had seen at least one Internet photo of a G.12T in a similar camo pattern since. I've have very well preserved memories building every one of the "Italians", including the throw-away failures, still remember "building" models over 60 years ago, ghastly bad they all were, shutter thinking about them!
Re: IPMS/USA Quarterly article
Your G.12T was a beauty, it gets allot of views in the Gallery. I could have sold that model for $500-$1K for you, your collection could have generated a haul.
