IMPORTANT INFORMATION - ALL MEMBERS PLEASE READ
Due to an increase in the number of new members who are trying to systematically download our entire Resource Library (one new member yesterday tried to download 3,000+ files AT ONCE!) we are being forced to implement some changes regarding who can download what, how many files at a time and at what speed. As the forums and Resource Library share the same bandwidth when the Library gets overloaded with demand like that the forums fall over, as we have all seen recently. It's sad that greed has forced our hand in this way but we must do something for the benefit of all our legitimate members (many of whom paid money for the upkeep of the site) and to prevent the files stored here being used for nefarious purposes. Many of our uploads have specific conditions tied to them that forbid uploading to any other site or deny uploading to any site that has a 'paywall' (i.e. a pay to download policy). Due to the number of mass download attempts recently we can only assume that somebody, somewhere, is attempting to stock up a new file library with our files and we owe it to our up-loaders to protect their files and intellectual property especially as many (like my own LDR Development projects) are made available at SOH only and are specified as such in the 'read me' files.The forums and Resource Library will be taken offline as of 13:00 EDT with the forums coming back online shortly after without the resources library while we work on setting up permissions on the new Library module.
We hope our members understand why we need to do this and will bear with us while we implement the changes.
Thanks in anticipation, SOH ADMINISTRATION
The download limits are a work in progress. Please hold on until we work out the details of how it will work.

You guys are very close to the right answer. The gunsight is a San Giorgio Tipo C. The aircraft is a Fiat G.55 Centauro. It was one of the best Italian fighter aircraft of World War II. It was designed by the Italian engineer Giuseppe Gabrielli and first flew in 1942. Many historians consider it the most capable Italian fighter produced during the war.
German pilots who tested the G.55 during WWII rated it excellent against Allied aircraft like the:
Supermarine Spitfire
North American P‑51 Mustang
Fiat G.55 Centauro generally used an Italian San Giorgio reflector gunsight, commonly referred to as the San Giorgio Tipo C (TIO-C) or similar variants.
However, in some cases German gunsights like the Revi C/12D gunsight were also installed when German equipment was available or during cooperation with the Luftwaffe.
It also has a lot of colorful paint schemes. I should be ready in 2-3 moths.

Thanks for the comments and interests in this aircraft. I have just sent the aircraft to UncleTgt for painting. You guys will need to learn how to fly in the VC mode, CFS2 is not capable to display gauges on a slanted surface properly.
These are the VC photos before it is painted:
