What would be wrong as an Italian aircraft, Italy is not one of the German USA or British or even Russian. Yes they were the number two Axis, well number threeeeee, weeeellllllllllllll, maybe four!!!!!!!!!
 
If the MC.205 is the MM9291 , the squadriglia numerals is incorrect in the profile. The Red 3 should be in front of the white band while the Black 360 behind. The layout was used for both starboard and port side. Also the Yellow Ochre is too yellow. It should be darker and of the brown-sandy type rather.

The colour set should be ...

Verde Oliva Scuro 2 ( Dark Olive Green 2 ) - FS 34052
Nocciola Chairo 4 ( Light Hazel-Nut 4 ) - FS 30219
Grigio Azzuro Chairo 1 ( Light Blue-Grey 1 ) - FS 36307

Wurger, I would give you a hug if I could. Truly I have little trust in illustrations. Unless of course by our resident master!

I will make the adjustments!!!
You will end up in heaven!
 
IMHO a half of a hug , Andy. ;)

While the top image shows the Red 3 the bottom pic doesn't. IMHO it might be the Red 4 or 2. The MM9291, Red 3 had a different shape of the smoke rings although of a quite similar layout.
