RE2001 smoke rings
I am like Saint Thomas, if I don't touch (or see a photo in this case) I do not believe. A reference to a photo, even if it cannot be published should help a lot

I agree Rick,
this is "bad joke" Ifound a picture of 362-4 in "metropolitan" camo (page 33 AliDitalia No3).. I thought this is possible (I known camo of CoBAF Re 2001 - very similar to smoke-rings)....
It is a piti - nice camo for competition...

Mirek;
From my knowledge the Re.2001 came from the factory in the "Metropolitan" pattern. The smoke ring pattern was basically a Macchi company pattern. There were some Cr.42's painted in a simulated pattern later in the war by field personnel. As to a Re.2001 with a squiggle pattern simulating smoke rings, there was one in the Co-Bellergerent Air Force. this aircraft if I remember correctly was assigned to a training unit and might have been post war, but definetly after 1943 and wore roundels.
