many italian a/c were made with wood, canvas and steel tube a result of autarchic policy. Italy was dammned to sanctions for invasion of Abissinia but these were ineffective as many nations ignored them. In fact Italy got a lot of brevect from USA. But this policy prevaled, the result was that planes were heavy for wood, and slow and unarmed. [ITALERI] 1/72 - CAPRONI Ca.311 (VINTAGE) (ca311) Coucou04

I will paint it in a desertic camo, giallo mimetico 3 and verde mimetico 2, by british sand and spinach, this camo was applied on field by spraying the A/C with sand, leaving only small areas of the previous camo or covering it at all and then applying small patches of verde mimetico or bruno mimetico rarely
