Aircraft Markings and CamouflageDiscuss Request on the Italian captured Hawker Hurricane in the Technical forums; Hi to all,

This is my first post here and oddly enough I will start with a request concerning pics and documentation on the Regia Aeronautica captured Zmaj built Yugoslav Hurricane.
The aircraft in question (or two of them) was (were) apparently captured in the Nikshiq airfiled in Monte Negro by the invading Italian forces in April 1941.
One such machine got Italian markings and was subsequently flown to Tirana (Albania) proceeding then to Rome where it was repainted in typical Italian camouflage of three mottled colors. In the flying center of Guidonia the aircraft was exptensively used until it was damaged during landing in 1943.
Does anybody in the forum has pics or camo schemes of such aircraft ?
I believe the profile is correct in most elements such as black spinner, yellow cowling, white fuselage band and Savoia cross. On the other site the camo pattern and its colors seems to be not quite convincing but this is a matter of interpretation for the artist. I will try to put here the few pictures I managed to find of theis a.c. so we can evaluate it better.
Thank you all for above information on Italian Hurricane, most interesting!!,as I am building sutch one at the moment.
Does anyone have anything on Nakajima Ki62 & Ki63 projects, drawings or anything!!
