Sorry I popped in too late for this one!
May I add that this was a SM75RT (Special performance) military registration number MM60539 just landed in Tokyo on June 29th 1942 (at that time Italy and Japan were allied). She was fitted with three special engines Alfa Romeo 128RC SPEC. Japanese authorities insisted that she should be painted over with "Hinomaru"!
