Guys,
––Well, it’s been a while in the making,…but all of the Italian Air Force in the Desert scheme are now complete. I’ve gone through and re-named and organised all of the pics. Shown below are the
C.202 Fighters.
––These Fighters have “Squadron colors” of a Green stripe and Brown noses. Notice the “F” decal denoting them as Fighters. Enjoy!
––It’ looks like we’re in for some “Mayhem in the Mediteranean!”

Very nice! Those have great detail.
Those are sweet for sure and with the correct roundel. :-)
Yep John, your correct.
This 
or this is correct 
but
NOT This 
This is actually Iran’s roundel. The only reason I use it is because the map I made has this roundel. I wish I would have changed it before I printed it. Its not so easy to reprint since my map cost me over $500. I think I would have gone with this version.
Yep John, your correct.
This
but
NOT This
Yes, I’m also having a metal map done, and I forgot to have them reverse it as well. I should have written me a note, instead of relying on my memory. Mine is also over $500.00. It is 48x48 for each map. It is still being worked on. I may see if I could change the roundels, but I’ve probably waited too late. We will see! :-(
Guys,
––Well, I didn’t get to finish uploading the Italian C.202 Fighter pics before I had to leave hurriedly,….so here are the Red stripe with Red nosed “Squadron colors” below. Notice the “F” decals denoting a Fighter unit. Enjoy!

Cyanight & others,
Very nice! Those have great detail.

**––Well, I want to say THANKS to R Johnson from over in Tyler as HE is the one that put me on to these decals. They are from PICO ARMOR if I remember correctly.Tall Paul**

Cool, thanks Paul. :-)
Guys,
––Here are the Finished pics of the Italian BA.65 Dive Bombers in the Desert scheme . These are FMG units in the “Squadron colors” of Green Stripes w/Green noses. Notice the “D” decal that denotes a Dive Bomber. Enjoy!
––NOTE: I made a conscious decision to slightly compromise historical accuracy in order to improve Unit Identity by painting the leading edge of ALL Dive Bomber wings Yellow. This really aids unit identity even when the map is very cluttered, or the units are 5-10 feet away. We play on a much enlarged map and this small compromise helps players a LOT, especially my 90-year old Dad, a WW-2 vet.

Those Dive Bombers are pretty sweet, Paul! :-D
Those are awesome… Love how they used two colors for the camo.
John and others,
Those Dive Bombers are pretty sweet, Paul! :-D
**––Glad you liked them, John. You’ll have to come and use them in one of our games again one day. Did you take note of the Yellow leading edges of the Dive Bomber’s wings in order to identify them as such. It’s just like the White wingtips on my Air Transports that mark them as such.Tall Paul**

Is the yellow represent dive bombers or something else?
John and others,
––ALL my Dive Bombers will have a Yellow leading edge on their wings, whatever their nationality and/or if it was historically acurate for the paint schemes. I decided to do this for MY dive bomber units
in order to increase their IDENTIFYABILITY as dive bombers,….just like I had MY Air Transports painted with White wingtips and stripes (the ONLY a/c painted w/White details). This might not be a solution that anyone else likes or adopts,…but it works for me and my group. We ALL can now easily identify a Dive Bomber unit from a good distance away, especially my 90-year old WW2 veteran Dad.
