Gentlemen:
First of all, thanks for the correction about the DB601 engines.  Old age has muddled my memory.  Of course it should have been Junker Jumo 211 @ 1220 HP each.

The display of images for all versions of the Spaviero are magnificent.

I can't believe that the SM 79 lost out in a competition with the American Martin Bomber.  Until the advent of the Baltimore in British service, their performance was poor.  Was the fix in?

Hello everybody

Long time without posting anything due to work load, any way my S79 is progressing at a slow pace and presently facing a problem related with Italian camouflage  :-red

My idea is to reproduce Buscaglia's aircraft belonging to Squadriglia 281 in May 1941,see the following link were you can find an article
about it

http://www.stormomagazine.com/Articles/BuscagliaSM79/BuscagliaSM79II.html

In the above mentioned article and If I understood correctly in May 41 the aircraft was seen with 2 colours for the upper surface

Marrone Mimetico 53193 (as a base colour, my thinking)
and Verde Mimetico 53192

I have seen in other sites, specially in modelling devoted ones, the use of a colour between the Bruno Mimetico and Giallo Mimetico 3

But to be honest I have seen so many browns that presently I'm a bit confused, what brown shall I use? can you help me on this?
