In the photo of some planes in service on the 78th Squadron, you can indeed see the difference between the first two of Macchi production and the three behind of Hanriot production. Here the first warning to modelers is triggered: note that the Macchi also have upper wings with green and red sectors under the ends while the Hanriot ones do not. Once the French examples arrived in Italy, only the lower wing tips were painted. Pay attention also to the fact that French specimens were usually simply painted the blue center of the French rosettes in green, while the Macchi ones came out of the factory with the rosettes with a red center. There were also minor differences between the two series, such as a slight difference in the tail rudder area and a valve inspection flap present on the left side of the Macchi's cowling. Studying the photos, eye that some rudders of the French also had the colors reversed, that is, with red in front.
