The AMX and an old nostalgic camouflage

[zetamimmo]

Decimomannu AB. For 70 years of a 32° wing was painted one AMX with camouflage Savoia Marchetti SM79, bomber of World War II


Decimomannu AB. Captain Armando Boetto old medal for bravery after he was shot down and killed flying a Savoia Marchetti SM.79 when attacking Gibraltar. 32°wing was based in Decimomannu.


Decimomannu AB. Different special color including the 32-01


Decimomannu AB.Paint AMX has required patience. In detail, note the "Mosquito", old symbol 32° wing


decimomannu AB.Taxiing to the runway. The new version AMX called "ACOL" can use all weapons including the latest GBU/GPS, Litening or Reccelite POD


Decimomannu AB. A perfect camouflage!

Glad to see the Euro-crisis hasn't hurt the AMI paintshop.

Didnt the AMI paint one like this a number of years ago? Or is this the same airframe? (mm7141)

Miles - Thanks for the heads up!
The mark 1 eyeballs are in need of an overhaul!

Besides an ugly paintscheme (although very fitting for the ugly SM79) also a bit misplaced if you ask me. Remember that the Regina Aeronautica was already bombing civilian cities in Ethiopia before the bombing of Guernica, Warsaw, Rotterdam ever happend. Think it is not correct to 'glorify' that period in the RA's history. Like painting a Luftwaffe Eurofighter in Heinkel 111 colours. But this is no board for politics so back to topic.

I like the colour scheme. Btw He.111 colourschemes, nah.. but this colourscheme on a Eurofighter. http://www.hyperscale.com/features/2000 ... elch_4.jpg
