IS4G skins for the sm79 Sparviero
IS4G Italian air force standard bomber during WWII the S.79 Sparviero (sparrow-hawk) was extensively used as horizontal bomber and torpedo-bomber. The military version derived from a civilian one that obtained prestigious results, in the thierties, in many aerial competitions; the most famous was the Paris-Damascus-Istres air race in 1937; three S.M.79C planes obtained the first three places, overperforming the French and British competitors. On wearing the uniform the Sparviero was modified with a dorsal hunch to receive the rear-facing 12.7 mm Breda-Safat machine gun; from that moment on it was know as "The Hunchback". The first squadrons to receive were assigned to bombing missions and soon, with the breakout of the war, new torpedo-bombing units were formed; the Sparviero was perfectly suited for this job, thanks to its maneuverability and capability to sustain heavy damage, and obtained the greatest successes against the British convoys in the Mediterranean. SCASM edition. Two more skins for this plane
