Fiat Cr.42

[Clint Mitchell]

Unfortunately all I have been able to find is these, captioned as being: "Fiat CR 42'. E8+JK of 2./Nachtschlachtgruppe 9 at Turin-Aeritalia - April 25, 1944. Green lizard camouflage with Hazel nut brown blotches on a dark Olive background. The camouflage has been field modified with a wavy overspray of RLM 74 and RLM 75. Note the exhaust stack for night time operations."

Nice Scheme though dude! I'm pretty sure you could create a much better representation of the camouflage (looks like a wellenmuster [Wave] pattern) from the photo than the accompanying profile


Images originally from: "Air War Italy 1944-45" (N Beale, F D'Amico & G. Valentini)

Also Nick Beale (on LEMB) has confirmed that the camouflage above has been checked out with veterans of NSG 9.

But also found a nice photo with some undercarriage details etc.


Hope they help?

Great profile ! I gotta compliment the high gloss finish...very nicely captured. I will try to follow your example when i get back to some High-viz US Navy birds.

Great job, mate !
