Italian WW2 a/c

Thank you!

I will start checking to see if I can pick up these kits I know ebay is a source but to buy each kit separately will increase overall cost in postage.
Any mail order places that sell at a discount?
From another site someone suggested a web site called, "STORMOMAGAZINE.com It is all Italian a/c !!
Some modelers have posted some of their work and it is extraordinary the camo patterns that were used.
Modelers are great people many of the modelers give details on the techniques they use to build, the types of paints they used, as well as HOW they applied the camo patterns.
I am loving this hobby.
I really like the SM-79 I will look to find it and buy it as well as the others!
I will follow up on what everyone above suggested and keep in touch

Thank you all!!

Airfix also did the FIAT G.50bis Freccia, a basic little kit that can turn out pretty sweet looking. And yes Supermodel and FROG, now both out of print, did a plethora of WW2 Italian fighters (FIAT G.55, Macchi MC202, Reggiane Re2000, FIAT CR32 Chirra, etc…)as well. Revell put out the Macchi MC200 Saetta as well which can look smart. I have several of them and they look great even in bare metal finish.

Italeari/supermodel are/were the same company I think. I have some of their Italian bombers in the roof unbuilt. If you are interested pm me and I will send you a list of what I have - I want to dispose of them as I will never build them. The Airfix SM 79 dates from the late 1960's and unfortunately it shows a bit.

I found a mail order hobby shop that had the Italieri SM-79.
italieri has a 1/48 CR-42 but it wasO.O.S. (out of stock)
