Imagine the Ro.57 with 801's under the cowlings... I Love the canopy design, it just looks so raked back and sleek... the Ro.58's a little meh, she's like a knock off of the 110 really.

It'd look great with a pair of jets: BMW 003s before the end of the war, or Derwents just after it, in either case carried well forward of the wing to maintain the same CofG. The undercarriage would need a re-think though.

Another Italian twin (and another Special Hobby kit  Wub) the somewhat odd Fiat Cr.25, which could be a transport or a long range fighter depending on the version:

Or like other older design transport planes, it could double as a bomber.

The SAI 207/403 "Dardo" fighters and Caproni-Vizzola F.6 has always interested me not sure if there are any kits of these birds

There at least two SAI 207 kits (in resin, naturalmente).

LF Models 7218 in 1/48

RS Models 92036 in 1/72
http://www.hyperscale.com/2008/reviews/kits/rs92036reviewpm_1.htm

LF also does a 1/72 Caproni Vizzola F.4 (basically an F.6 was an F.4 with a DB605 instead of the 601).

the SM.91 prototype was accidentally shot down by a Mc-205 who thought it was a P-38 -- would some of these whif designs cause more blue-on-blue events ??

Cheers NARSES2.

With my current batting average, I'm starting to look a bit like Narses 1. So, hat, coat, door ...
