Hi,
The Italian invasion of Abyssinia in yeras 1935-36 had some share in military airplanes history. There was a huge bias in power balane - from Abyssinian side there were only few machines, transport and recce, no even single fighter whereas Italy used about 100 airplane, mostly of five types at start: Fiat CR 20 as fighter, Romeo (IMAM) Ro-1 & Ro 37 bis as observation, light bomber and liaison as well as Caproni 101 & 111 as bomber/transport machines. I would like to recall this uneven war doing a couple of models. First finished is Fiat CR 20 bis AQ, machine of 111 Squadron commander based in Asmara (Eritrea) in 1935 . Model is a rather new short run by Kora in 1/72 build OOB (the only change - the prop is constructed rotable) within Africa GB.
The WIP is here:
And the model:
Comments welcome
