C 202 Folgore 1 Stormo 6 gruppo (squadriglie 79+81+88) e 17 gruppo (Squadriglie 71+72+80)

[ITA-SUP-Bigans]

As I'm working on some historical missions during 2nd Bir el Gubi Air Battle (Dec 4&5th 1941), I need some skins of C 202 Folgore of 1 Stormo 6 gruppo (squadriglie 79+81+88) e 17 gruppo (Squadriglie 71+72+80), which operated from Libya since Nov 1941 till July 1942.

 

I used TFS's skin (that fits fine since Feb 1941), but as I'm not a painter the result is not the best, wainting that some more professional skin painter make them, I place here my ones.

 

For those who hurt Fascis and Savoia sign, a generic skin of 1 stormo with no numbers too, download from here https://www.mediafire.com/file/k1js8xus9g28zq7/1941-11+Regia+Aeronautica+C+202+Folgore+1+St+no+fasces&numbers.jpg/file

 

Attention, the following skins contain Fascis and Savoy's crest, for historical accuracy:

The following pics of the same plane were shot after Oct 1942 (maybe on Margana Pantelleria airfield), because the wings has the so called "smoke rings" camuflage, but in any case certified that the number 12 existed. While on the fusolage we can see the previous camuflage, +/- like the one that I used for other skins of the Stormo.

Add new skins!

 

I'm sorry ? little changes to numbers on the right sides of planes, skins 81-4 & 81-7. Erase the previous ones and download them again.
