F. Giuli Caproni Ca.310 just uploaded

[kelticheart]

Many thanks to Giuli, Pepe and Uncle Tgt!



​

I noticed that, finally, FGiuli uploaded a much needed, long awaited Fiat BR.20 version for FS9.....

Uncle Tgt:

Please allow me a comment on a tiny detail in the otherwise perfect Regia Aeronautica repaint: shouldn't the white cross on the rudder/vertical fin bear the Savoia Royal Seal in its centre as shown below?

Cheers!

This is the a/c profile, & I think I recall seeing photo confirmation on the web somewhere ...

It's never too late to learn

Hey my friend,

I knew you wouldn't do anything if not supported by proper documentation! So I learned something new, not all of Regia Aeronautica aircrafts sported the Savoia royal seal in the middle of the white cross. Thanks!

By the way, that is not the specific Savoia coat of arms, because it displays two fascist symbols on both sides. The Savoia royal family coat of arms is the shield in the center with a white cross on a red field, framed in blue with a gold crown on top. It can be seen in pre-republican Italian flags, from 1863 to 1948, placed in the middle white band. Therefore, even the plain white cross on the rudder/vertical fin represents the then Savoia king of Italy.

Italians voted to become a democratic republic in 1948, the hated Savoia symbol was removed from the Italian flag. When I first visited Little Italy in N.Y., I saw many old Italian kingdom flags around instead of the Republican ones. I figured in Little Italy lived a lot of nostalgic people, such flag would rise more than an eyebrow here.

Cheers!

Ca.311 tests ready

I'm packing them now. My future project after the Caproni series is the Fiat BR.20 bis.

Hi Friends,
I made a repaint for the '310 in the livery used for the London/Capetown record 1938 attempt (failed, unfortunately the plane crashed after two days). The original plane has no turret and wings MGs and had a "solid" shorter nose. I used the Giuli's military version hoping in a future civil version......
