From Courage Alone, C. Dunning p.113. Do read the caption, its noteworthy. The E2 scheme called for Grigio Azzurro Chiaro 1, Azzurro 11.

Hi Vince, this photo I know from Ali D Italia page 22. I thouhg it be schema C10. On pages 20 and 15 are probably SM.84 with GAC1 only, but without Sq codes (probably 204 and 205 Sq) I search photo with code. In the book is colour profile for machine 282-2.

As far as I can tell the color profile 282-2 was based on this photo, ie., location and squadron being the same, Gerbini 1941, SM.84 282^a Sq. The photo precedes the application of the E2 camo scheme on this aircraft as the plane was oversprayed with GAC1. Later recieving Azzurro 11. If you examine the fuselage area to the left of the rudder you can make out splotches of GAC1 over the white band and the vague outline of the squadron code below the tail plane. The C10 camo scheme was applied to the P.108.

First I've to say that I'm not a model maker neither an expert on Camo.

Second I see that more than a month has gone and maybe Mirek went on with his work, but I discovered the forum just couple of days ago.

Last but not least I had the chance, during my researches on small branches of the Regia history, to get from the author's son the entire sequence of the roll (unpublished photos!)... maybe they culd be useful, anyway.

ciao
