    The plane based on a 1938 design by Giovanni Galasso, However the aircraft did not enter production until 1943. By the time it entered service it was considered obsolete.



    A few shots of a model of the plane in another camo scheme you can see here

    sorry i've not been on lately but i've been short of time due to work commitments

    progress so far,Thanks again to Wojtek for the camo pattern,i've added a few little bits of my own[i've changed the tail colours from the profile pic],i've still quite a bit of detailing still to do but its not come up to bad for an old vac form kit
