Hello All,
Resently I went looking around a new web site to me at least www.papermodelstore.com.I was looking for a WWI kit to use as patterns for a scratchbuilt project and ran across the SAI Dardo 406 kit.Other than the fact the Dardo was made of wood I know nothing of this Aircraft.Naturally Stormo comes to mind as what better place to find any information concerning this A/C. Can any of you shed a little light on the subject or point out some good referances? Anything at all will be of great help.Thank you in advance for your time and trouble.
Regards,
Gregory Jouette

The SAI Ambrosini Dardo was SAI 403 (not 406); its history that was stopped at second prototype level, with a line drawings, a profile and a photo, is reported in the booklet Ali d'Italia serie Mini n°9 "SAI-Ambrosini e derivati " issued by Giorgio Apostolo; the cover of the book is visible on his site www.apostoloeditore.com
