Hi

My bomber/torpedo italians trimotors squad is in the process of being completed.

A beautiful Thomas Gunn plane as usual

As the mosquito , the Italian-made CANT Z.1007 Alcione (Kingfisher), lesser-known as a Wooden wonder has a wooden frame.

Developed in the late 1930s, the tri-engine bomber, with a retractable tailwheel undercarriage, was known for its excellent flying characteristics and stability. Production was undertaken by IMAM (Meridionali) and Piaggio, and later by CRDA. It has been regarded as the best Italian bomber of World War II.

CANT.z 1007bis of 210° Squadriglia, 50° gruppo B.T (Bombardamento Terrestre, Ground Bombardment), Viterbo, Italy, November 1941.

What an awesome model, Marcou! Thomas Gunn nailed that camouflage scheme… It looks very impressive 😎
 
Yes that's true the camouflage painting is almost an artistic work,
done in an exceptional manner
