You're welcome. :-)

I just found another picture. A frontal one. These pics were all taken in Albania (Scutari). I love the Meridionali planes. My favourite is the Ro.57bis, I.M.H.O. the most stylish attack plane of the WWII.

I found this page with several interesting videos of axis planes of WW2. Filmati di Aerei della Regia (e non solo)

A lucky find. :) I was wondering if the photo is a recolour of a b/w pic or it's just a little faded.

There is plenty of material about the Ro.37. Just do a Google search. Here is an interesting site with the history of this plane: Mussolini's Maid of All Work: the IMAM Ro 37 and Its Derivatives

Thanks for the remark, Kris. Actually, in the Regio Esercito the "semoventi" self-propelled guns were used often in the role of tank destroyers, but you are absolutely right, they're not properly tank destroyers.

Thank you all for the welcome. :) I will try to contribute wisely to the forum.

Greetings to all people here. Landing here from Italy, just to strenghten a bit the italian community on this superb site. :) I'm and I've always been an history enthusiast. Several years ago I was a plane modeller too, but all my models were lost when I left my parents house. Luckily, I...

Some pics of italian "Semoventi" tank destroyers. 1) M40 75/18 2) M41 90/53 3) M42 105/25 "Bassotto" 4) M43 149/40 (italian prototype, built by Germans after Italy's surrender)

Some fine designs of self-propelled guns in WWII were italians. English writers agree that english tank crews feared these weapons far more than italian tanks in the desert battles. But, as other good italian weapons of the war, they suffered for the scarce production numbers. However, they...

Actually, in WWII there were about 120 italian aces that shot down at least 5 enemy planes. :twisted: And most of them, until 1943 were flying with Fiat CR42, G50, and Macchi 200. Not the state of the art at the time. :shock:
