SAVOIA MARCHETTI S.79 "SPARVIERO"

My mistake. I was under the impression that the red SM-79 was Bruno's. I haven't really done an in depth study of this aircraft....or any of the Italian jobbies for that matter. The Folgore's and Veltro's are gorgeous by the way.

Absolutely... Outstanding work there Ugo..

I really like your mottled camouflage effect, its first rate.

Well, here is the I-BRUN, Mussolini's son Bruno.

See? And then you folks wonder why I'm so confused......

Graphically speaking Ugo, I can't think of a more perfect setting for these aircraft. The parchment feel is just right. I'm ready to get on the RCA microphone right now and tell them how gorgeous it is!

FANCY!!!
Are you sure you don't want to do cockpit art?

[Clint Mitchell]

Ugo! Just a little request?



You know you want to?

Hi Clint.......well, why not? :-) I have to look for some other images to be sure of real positioning of the stencils and their size. Any idea of the FS colors?
