Imam Romeo RO-1 Squadron details

[gera]

Hi Guys....

I am making a 1935 Imam Romeo RO-1. Really a Fokker C.V built in Italy in the early 1930´s. It was used as an observation aircraft during the Ethiopian war of 1935. I need some photos of the "markings" these planes had during the campaign.
Any help will be much appreciated.

That's a CR.42, they appear to have similar paint. I saw some black and White photos of the R.01 with a close pattern to this.

Mr Procrastintor, do you have proof or pictures to back up your statement of the colour scheme similar to the Fiat CR.42. From other published sites on the internet I only see plain finishes to indicate a flat silk or light sand type of colour, the colours used in the Northern Africa campaign. Let me know, thanks
