Glad I could help Ralph. Only fuselage of "Black 14" was repainted, so the tail planes were left in mottled pattern. If you look closely on the profiles I've posted above, it is shown as such.
As you may notice the aimer gondola could be mottled as well as the endings of the engine nacelles protruding the wing trailing edge.

I'll assume you are referring to the schemes applied 'in general' to this craft as Italian? Hopefully not my current finishing choicenice one, would like to do some Italian subjects but the paint schemes put me off
Ralph, there are 2 forums I know dealing mostly with Airfix productsHas anyone else built this particular kit? I see the Italire builds but no Airfix (1/72).
Yes, I agree, scratch build is the most likely answer. I did look at the 'historical' kits and they do look to have the same cantents. I, personally, don't have the motivation to be that creative. To lazy I guess? I'll build with what I have in the box and hope for a presentable entry.All the Airfix kits for the SM.79 are still the sameone that was released in 1967. They have changed the box only. I have seen the "new tool" kit of 1967 and there weren't any differences in the sprue and parts set of these newer releases. Below you may see the box content of the 2020. I don't think there is any variation.
Regarding these additional parts .. yes IMHO thse are hand scratch built.
You that know that's funny, because I purchased two, one to build with Luftwaffe colors and the other one in Regia Aeronautica colors. Even bought a set for the Italian version. That's a rare thing because I am hooked on Japanese WWII aircraft and German WWI aircraft.Good stuff Igor. I've saved the Luftwaffe one for laters
